Hi Wil,
That is a Cotton Manuscript (MS = manuscript...MSS = manuscripts...and Cott  = Cotton).  These were manuscripts originally collected by Sir Robert Cotton.  His collection (now in the BM) includes a lot of the famous manuscripts: Julius, Vespasian, Tiberius, etc.  So you manuscript should also have another name and number associated with it, as well as a "folio" number to indicate where in the manuscript the reference is made, i.e. Cotton Nero D.iv, f. 210v

Hey all 

I have a number of images from an Anglo Saxon manuscript... problem is they are 
only labellad "Cott. MS." 

Can anyone tell me what this abbreviation stands for, and assign a century or 
exact date to this manuscript? Thanks in advance, 

~Wil
