	Gregorian Chant Digital Manuscript Collection The Gregorian Chant Manuscript Collection was digitized from a set of microforms that came to the University of Chicago Library in the 1990s. Reproductions were obtained from various Western European institutions, libraries, and religious houses mainly in France and England. The collection of liturgical codex manuscripts dates from the 9th through 17th centuries with a concentration in the 12th and 13th centuries and include antiphonaries, missals, graduals, breviaries, sacramentaries, kyriales, tropers, sequentiaries, and others. The first twelve titles in this collection have been digitized and can be accessed from the Library's online catalog.	Formats Digital Microform	Subjects Music

The collection thus provides an interesting and unusually complete picture of the musical life of an aristocratic English family in Georgian and early Victorian times.
