Greek Manuscripts

The Kenneth Willis Clark Collection of Greek Manuscripts comprises the principal collection in this area, though a number of the library's papryi are also in Greek. The Clark Collection contains ninety-eight manuscripts--in both roll and codex form--dating from the ninth to the seventeenth century. The largest group represented in the collection are manuscripts which contain texts of the New Testament. Also represented are diverse homiletical and liturgical books needed for services in the Byzantine church, along with commentaries, liturgies and euchologia, psalters, sticheraria, and writings.

There is an online summary descriptive list of all of the manuscripts in this collection.
