The following list provides a preliminary inventory of the early modern manuscripts held by the Department of Special Collections of European origin that may be dated between 1600-1800.
The listing thus far contains only those manuscripts described in James A. Corbett, A Catalogue of the Medieval & Renaissance Manuscripts of the University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame, 1978) and a collection of manuscripts acquired from the Dominican Convent of St. Raymond of Peñafort.
