British Library Makes Great Treasures Available Via Web
The British Library has announced that they have scanned and are making available to the public six historical treasures including Beowulf, Leonard Da Vinci's Notebook from which I grabbed the image to the right, Harley Golden Gospels (early 9th Century Germany), Silos Apocalypse (1091-1109 Spain), Petit Livre d'Amour (1529 France), and the Golf Book (circa 1540).Financial Times Magazine has a longer article about the project and documents. |  |
The documents are zoomable. Click the image at right, taken from Silos Apocalypse to see it at full zoom. |  |
