10% of Medieval Manuscripts survive to this day - Is that an overestimate? - Mark Knowles - 01-01-2025
In the case of early 15th century ciphers from my research I would be inclined to the view that much fewer than 10% of enciphered letters survives. I suspect the percentage is higher when it comes to cipher ledgers, though I doubt it is as much as 10%.
However when we are talking about illustrated manuscripts then I would think they are more likely to have survived than in the case of letters, especially if they are very beautiful manuscripts as I would expect people to have taken more care of them.
Having recently having allowed myself to be distracted by the subject of Diebold Lauber's manuscripts I have wondered which of these manuscripts survive and having seen the following listing:

I wonder how many manuscripts in total Diebold Lauber's workshop would have produced and what percentage of that figure this listing constitutes. Of course, there may well be a number of surviving Diebold Lauber manuscripts not listed here.
