For a 2019/2020 class project, students described medieval manuscript fragments at the Folger.

For details about the Macro Manuscripts, containing three of the surviving morality plays written in English before 1500, see the Macro Manuscripts page.

Digitized medieval manuscripts

During the Folger's construction project (2020-2023), a selection of twenty-nine pre-modern manuscripts were placed on deposit at the University of Pennsylvania's Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts in Philadelphia. During the 2021-2022 academic year, these items were given enhanced metadata by staff at Penn's Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS), were digitized by staff at Penn's Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text and Image (SCETI), and were added to the Folger Shakespeare Library collection in OPenn, Penn's open access repository for primary digital resources. (These digital images will also be added to the Folger Shakespeare Library's own digital image library at a future date. Please use the digitized copies in OPenn for now.)
