First release
This is the first release of the site. It describes 60 manuscripts held in 24 libraries in 8 countries.
- 42 of the manuscripts can be read page by page from their libraries' servers, 12,668 page images in all. Those images are not stored on this site. One more manuscript, London, British Library, Harley MS 978, is shown by a single leaf, f. 11v, with Sumer is icumen in: its image is a CC0 copy that this site serves itself.
- 29 manuscripts have a contents list, and the data lists 1,394 pieces from them. Sumer is icumen in, which no contents list names, is added from this site's own edition.
- 47 composers have a page of their own.
- 24 editions from the editions data are shown beside the manuscript page, and this site's own edition of Sumer is icumen in with them.
- 12 of the 60 manuscripts are described as fragments by the records cited for them: 11 library records and 1 Wikipedia article.
- 1,379 of the pieces in the data are listed in one manuscript on this site and 15 in two or more; Sumer is icumen in is in one. Manuscripts that are not on this site are not counted.
Every number above is worked out from the data files of this release, and what this site adds of its own is named beside them. The open data page describes those files and their licences.
