(The Inner Temple Library MS Collection, Unit 1, The Petyt Collection: n.a., offerings as of 2019, 53 online volumes. (The Petyt Collection of manuscripts was contained on 155 of the 256 microfilm reels comprising the filmed edition of the manuscripts held by the Library of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple. As of 2019, some 33% of the Petyt reels had been digitized and mounted on LLMC-Digital. In the online version all of the contents from each microfilm reel are contained in one single online “volume”; with the volumes numbered in the same order as the microfilm reels. The first entry of the online run is reserved for an LLMC-prepared Short Guide to the Petyt manuscripts available at this time. Users are reminded that a very erudite guide to the manuscripts is provided in the Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple: ed. by J. Conway Davies, Vol. 1-3, which is also available on LLMC-Digital. Davies’ essays on William Petyt himself, and on the Petyt Collection, are contained in his text in Vol. 1, on pp. 11-27 and 27-51 respectively. Page references to the Davies Catalogue for the block of Petyt materials contained in each online volume are provided in the LLMC Short Guide for Unit 1 discussed
above.
