[Northkeep] Period texts FW: digitized list, part one

[Niewoehner, Hugh]

Brief background...

Alban's SCA hobby (well, at least one of them) is hunting down and aquiring period manuscripts...then scanning them and making those scans available to the rest of us.  

He also has done a fasinating paper he's published on period oath's of fealty and hommage.

On with his announcement...
