Series VI: Iter Italicum , 1949-1997

This series is comprised of research notes, manuscripts, and other records related to the Iter Italicum-- the catalog of previously uncataloged or incompletely cataloged Italian humanistic manuscripts, a major work of scholarship that is considered Kristeller's magnum opus.

Subseries VI.1: Research, 1949-1986

The research files are divided into two main sections-- chronological notebooks and country files. The notebooks are Kristeller's notes from his site visits to libraries around the world. The country files include correspondence, manuscript catalogs, and notes. The arrangement of the country files reflects the arrangement of the work as a whole: the files are arranged by country, and by city and then library or institution within each city.
