Scope and Content
Arrangement
The cataloging for a large part followed the numbering system created by de Menasce. However both West 56 and West 57 consisted of multiple items. Therefore these were extracted from the consecutive numbering system created by de Menasce. There are also further manuscripts which have been added to this catalogue.
