Manoscritti antichi - Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma
Would Liber floriger cartarum Pharphensis coenobii (index to the cartularies of the abbey of Farfa) fit the bill? Not very explicit on the metaphor, but the prologue tacitly acknowledges it by stressing its nature as a compilation of the "most useful pieces of information" in the abbey's archive.

Ok! I have done a similar thing as well. Can you tell how high identification rates did you get? I have been struggling with rather modest identification rates with my trial runs.

The method you used to identify overlaps, if you are willing to share your secrets 🙂

@pseudo-isidore.bsky.social can you tell us more about your search methods? What kind of search are you using, string searches, N-grams, something else? I have also experimented with similar stuff, but with varying results – interested to hear what has worked.

Screenshot of the Wayback Machine capture of the old entry for BL MS Add 49598
OMG PEOPLE! I have the BL hack of all BL hacks. Why didn't this occur to me before? It turns out the Wayback Machine has snapshots of MS metadata from the old Digitised Manuscripts site. I tried it for the Benedictional of St. Æthelwold, in honor of his day, and lo! web.archive.org/web/20140305...
