[Sca-cooks] Saganet

[Olwen the Odd]

This came across another list.  I thought it may be of interest to some.  If
not, sorry for the bandwidth.

>The National and University Library of Iceland has partnered with Cornell
>University to bring Saganet to the Web. This impressive digitization
>project
>will feature 380,000 manuscript pages and 145,000 printed pages of Old
>Icelandic literature and critical works published before 1900. The site
>offers "the full range of Icelandic family sagas" as well as
>Germanic/Nordic
>mythology, the history of Norwegian kings, and tales of European chivalry.
>Users can search or browse the collection, and there is a large amount of
>help documentation for those who need more assistance getting used to the
>interface. It is perhaps needless to say that the site is available in both
>English and Icelandic, though the texts and cataloging records are only in
>Icelandic. We had difficulties using the site with Netscape on a Mac
>platform but no problems with Internet Explorer.
