[ANSTHRLD] From the Althing list: Abbey Library manuscript collection online: scribes and binders note

[Duncan Hepburn]

I've just been pointed at this:

The Abbey Library of St. Gall, with its 2,100 manuscripts, is among the
oldest and most significant manuscript libraries in the world. Half of
the manuscripts, or codices, were produced in the middle ages, with
about
400 volumes produced before the year 1000 A.D.

They are digitizing the entire collection with content description,
facsimiles (from front to back including endpapers)  and pics of the
bindings (frontal, some clearly post-dating the contents), including a
range of resolutions for close-in work):

They've done 144 manuscripts so far.
