The earliest manuscripts

The dates are HMML's: a span of centuries where a manuscript cannot be fixed more closely, a year where it can. The oldest here is a Gospel book at the Catholicosate of Cilicia in Antelias, dated between the ninth and eleventh centuries; the others run from the twelfth century into the thirteenth, in HMML's own collection in Collegeville, in Rome, at Our Lady of Bzummār in Lebanon and in Aleppo.

Each card gives the title as HMML's cataloguers wrote it, and below it the title as written in the manuscript.
