I need to find out where in Southern Italy and Sicily there are collections of Greek manuscripts. I have been trying to think of a Google search that will give this information. I don’t expect it to give me every collection; just the obvious ones.
Well, I can’t think of a search that will do this. A few attempts bring up nothing.
Yet… isn’t this sort of search a fundamental need? Not just for that region; say you wanted to know where to look in the United Kingdom? It’s the same problem.
Where DO we look?
Have you tried the search page at the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library?

Good thought – thanks.

Lists of printed catalogues — well, that does help. Thank you!
