To find manuscripts by de Ricci number in [[Hamnet]], do an [[Searching_in_Hamnet#Advanced_Search_tab | Advanced Search]] of the [[Bibliographic Citation field]] with the word "Ricci" in one box, and the de Ricci number ''as a phrase'' in another box. Alternatively, put everything in one search box, but be aware that Hamnet will replace the decimal point with an "AND" when searching, so will sometime bring up two records (e.g. searching for de Ricci 61.1 will also bring up the record for de Ricci 1.61).
To find manuscripts by de Ricci number in the Folger [[Catalog]], you can type "citation:" in the search box, followed by the [[Cited/Described in field | Standard Citation Form]] for the publication and the reference number, in quotation marks. For example:<br>
'''citation:"Ricci, S. de. Census of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the United States and Canada, 1.61"'''
 
That being said, you'll probably get the record you want just by searching the "citation" index for the keyword "Ricci" and the reference number. For example:<br>
'''citation:("Ricci" AND "1.61")'''

Title page of Seymour de Ricci's manuscripts census

Many manuscripts in the Folger collection are known by their "de Ricci" numbers, as well as by their Folger call numbers. De Ricci numbers come from Seymour de Ricci, Census of medieval and renaissance manuscripts in the United States and Canada. New York : H. W. Wilson, 1935-1940, and are based on Folger case numbers and accession numbers.

The Folger has several bound copies of de Ricci's three-volume census (catalog record).

A searchable scanned copy of the census is available as an ACLS Humanities E-book (access restricted by licensing agreement):

In the catalog

To find manuscripts by de Ricci number in the Folger Catalog, you can type "citation:" in the search box, followed by the Standard Citation Form for the publication and the reference number, in quotation marks. For example:
citation:"Ricci, S. de. Census of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the United States and Canada, 1.61"

That being said, you'll probably get the record you want just by searching the "citation" index for the keyword "Ricci" and the reference number. For example:
citation:("Ricci" AND "1.61")
