In addition to the Catalogue, the other main sources of images of illuminated manuscripts on the British Library’s website:
Sources of Descriptions
Descriptions of most of the Library’s Western manuscripts have been described in printed catalogues, and most of these catalogues have been converted to electronic form and are available in Search our Catalogues: Archives and Manuscripts
The main exception is the catalogue of the Harley collection, which is not available online.
