I recently came across a site which features scanned-in medieval manuscripts from several of the libraries of Oxford, and thought it might be of interest. http://image.ox.ac.uk/ "Early Manuscripts at Oxford University" "Digital facsimiles of complete manuscripts, scanned directly from the originals." "The project forms part of the Specialised Research Collections in the Humanities initiative supported by the Higher Education Funding bodies of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland under the direction of the Non-Formula Funding Committee. Beginning with collections of Celtic manuscripts from several Oxford libraries, and subsequently extended to include a broader range, the project is creating high resolution digital images, which are stored on the Oxford University Hierarchical File Server, and made available over the international networks." I find this almost as good as looking at originals, and almost as "bad," in the sense that there has been no translating or other interpretation done. They are extremely clear (at least on my system) and may be downloaded for study purposes. Although many of these are outside of this list's area of focus, there are at least two manuscripts dealing with music theory. regards, Rowen Brithwallt "I do not resent growing older - many are not granted that privilege." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send email to majordomo@pbm.com containing the words "unsubscribe minstrel".
