Category talk:Illuminated manuscripts

Organizational scheme for illuminated manuscript images

Over the next several months, I plan on uploading a large number of illuminated manuscript images. I forsee that merely categorizing them unde Category:Illuminated manuscripts will make finding these images difficult at best. I intend, therefore to subdivide and sort them in the following manner. Ideally, when this scheme is fully implemented, images will only actually appear in the categories for individual manuscripts.

Category:Illuminated manuscripts

Category:Manuscripts by location

Category:British Library manuscripts

Category:Lindisfarne Gospels

Category:Vespasian Psalter

Category:British Library, Additional MS 5111
