Digital copies

  • #Catalogue of digitized medieval manuscripts - database that lists digitized manuscripts (UCLA)
  • manuscriptorium - European Digital Library of Manuscripts - "Access to digital written cultural assets such as manuscripts, incunabula, early prints, plans, documents and archival records of all kinds" (Enrich project of the EU) - The database is generally difficult to use. It is possible to search by country and/or library, but not by the language of the text. - The query is not structured in a user-friendly way and is rather unsuitable for searching for manuscripts by library location or browsing alone. A targeted search by location and call number seems more convenient. - Digital copies are linked to the descriptions.
  • #mdmss (Consulting medieval manuscripts online) - collection of links to digitization projects of manuscript collections worldwide (University of Tennessee)
  • SCHØYEN COLLECTION - Virtual collection of manuscript (images) and information about manuscripts on various topics
