The Manuscripts

The Bodleian Library holds a majority of Kafka manuscripts, including diaries, aphorisms, letters and postcards, a small number of photographs, and the notebooks containing Das Schloss (MSS. Kafka 34-39) and Der Verschollene (MSS. Kafka 15-17). More information about the manuscripts held by the Bodleian (including a PDF version of the entire catalogue) and how to access them, can be found here.
