Manuscripta juridica

[Principal Investigator: G. R. Dolezalek]






LOCATION = Venezia, BNMarciana


Venezia, BNMarciana = Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venezia, Italy

Manuscripts at Venice, BNM, are listed with fourfold numbering:

(1) the shelfmark = language, thereafter either 'Z.' or a Roman numeral, and then arabic numerals,

(2) the present location in the library's storage = arabic numerals,

(3) description in the catalogue by Valentinelli = volume and page,

(4) Valentinelli's internal numbering of manuscripts = Roman numerals, followed by arabic numerals.

Scholars often misunderstand Valentinelli's internal numbering to be the shelfmark.
