Biography/Description

Contains 274 items in 429 chapters in 7 headings. This collection is part of the ‘Wigorniensis Group’ with Collectiones Trinitatis, Cheltenhamensis, Claustroburgensis, Cottonia, Peterhusensis and the Fragmentum Herefordense. All members of the group were formerly (by Holtzmann) identified as ‘primitive’ collections but are now considered ‘systematic’ or at least as having a ‘simple systematization’ (C. Duggan and Landau).
