It is generally accepted that the contingencies of manuscript survival have disproportionately destroyed some sorts of manuscripts and not others, but there is no consensus as to which sorts. Considerable inroads have been made into identifying the scope of destruction at the Dissolution and beyond it, but still, key questions remain.
