Latin Manuscripts Manuscripts in Latin. This is a collection of individual items that has been added to over many years; the items have different provenances and are grouped together because they share a common language. Some items have bookplates or inscriptions indicating that they belonged at some time to the Phillipps or Graves libraries, but they did not come to UCL as part of the main acquisition of those collections. See also MS PHILL, MS GRAVES. 12th century - 19th century
