For identification of texts in manuscripts, collections of incipits,
or initia, are vital. A general guide is Pelzer (1964), "Répertoire
d'incipit pour la littérature latine...," in Études
d'histoire littéraire sur la scholastique médiévale,
pp.35-64 (Z7128.S3P4 STK). Also see Boyle, (1984) Medieval Latin
Palaeography: A Bibliographical Guide, pp. 295-98, (Z106.B68);
and D'Alverny (1986) "Editions de textes," in L'Homme et son
univers au moyen âge, pp. 128-29 (B721.C55 STK) for lists
of incipits. Many manuscript catalogs include incipits.
Stanford has In principio: Incipit index of Latin Texts,
the CD-ROM version (description
of database) of the card file of L'Institut de Recherche et
d'Histoire des Textes (IRHT), Paris, and the Hill Monastic Library.
The two microform collections earlier produced from the IRHT fiche:
Répertoire des fins de textes latins classiques et médiévaux
(95,000 explicits), and Répertoire d'incipit de sermons
latins: antiquité tardive et moyen âge (70,000
incipits) are located at UC Berkeley but not at Stanford. Stanford
does have IRHT's Répertoire bio-bibliographique des auteurs
latins, patristiques et médiévaux, MTXT Room MFICHE
1102. For sermons there are also large collections of incipits in
published works, see Boyle, (1984) Medieval Latin Palaeography:
A Bibliographical Guide (Z106.B68).
