Greek and Byzantine Manuscripts
The Beinecke has a sizable holding of medieval Greek manuscripts and it continues to acquire items as they become available. The following list is not comprehensive of the Beinecke’s holdings, but presents those manuscripts that have a significant portion of Greek text. For quick reference, a handlist is available. Where available, images in the Beinecke Digital Collections are linked through the photo accompanying each item.
Note that ancient papyri are not included in this list and can instead be found at the Papyrus Collection Database.
