[PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION]
The online catalogue of the MERMAID core corpus provides the essential codicological data on the medieval manuscript miscellanies being studied by the research group, with particular attention to the elements needed to reconstruct their assembly history (structure of the fascicles, copying activities by one or more scribes, decorative elements) and to the precise identification of the texts preserved therein. Each of the short records included in the catalogue, with its own specific DOI, has also been published (under a Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 licence) within the MERMAID Dataverse, hosted by UNIMI Dataverse, the FAIR research data repository of the University of Milan. An extended version of each record, including linguistic notes and further analyses on the structure of the manuscript, will be included in the volume Medieval Romance Miscellanies as Instructional Devices. Materials, Patterns, Strategies, ed. by M. Cesena, M. Milani, M. Milazzo, L. Sacchi (forthcoming).
