The pressmark is written at the top of the outer margin of the first leaf of text. The letter in the pressmark has reference to the contents, so that, for example, manuscripts of Augustine and Anselm are marked A, bibles B, chronicles C, sermons S. 'Liber Sancti Ædmundi regis et martyris' is the usual thirteenth-century form of ex libris inscription. 'Liber monachorum Sancti Edmundi' is common later. The inscription is regularly at the head of the first leaf of text. Six manuscripts (Cambridge, Pembroke College, MSS 16, 44, 105; BL MS Royal 6 C. ii; Bodl. MSS e Mus. 7, 8) are marked 'De armario claustri' or 'De claustro'; three (BL MS Egerton 2782, Cambridge, St John's College, MS 35, and Wisbech, Town Museum, MS 1) are 'De refectorio'; and BL MS Cotton Tiberius B. ii is 'Liber feretrariorum'.
