Thousands of medieval manuscripts are
being digitized in part or in full for internet display. With close to
a trillion pages on the world wide web, and manuscript digitizing
projects in many different languages, each naming and describing itself
in a different way, it is difficult to locate them. So far, a web
database at UCLA enables users to find in several convenient ways 3124 fully digitized
manuscripts currently readable from cover-to-cover on the web: Catalogue of Digitized Medieval Manuscripts http://manuscripts.cmrs.ucla.edu/ For sheer volume of manuscripts linked, the following site is unparalleled: Large Digital Libraries of western manuscripts (constantly updated) http://wiki.netbib.de/coma/DigitaleHandschriften Below, I have included a block of links leading to collections containing fully digitized medieval manuscripts, one for digitized individual manuscripts, and one devoted to projects choosing to digitize selected pages for things like illustrations, examples musical notation, etc. This page is part of the Andy Holt Virtual Library's section on medieval source-based textual scholarship. You may also wish to consult some of the incunabula readable on line. |
