Huntington Library The Huntington Library, with its fifty-two complete manuscripts, and excerpts in several others, can lay claim to the largest collection of Middle English materials outside the British Isles.

Manuscripts in Middle English (1150-1500), particularly of prose and verse, are a collecting strength.
