Submitted by Catriona on Wed, 2003-07-23 15:45
A treasure trove of original manuscripts and books from the Middle Ages can be found
online at SCETI, the Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text & Image.
In conjunction with the University of Pennsylvania, Lawrence J. Schoenberg has made
available his private library of late medieval and early modern manuscripts. The mission
of this digital library is "to publish virtual facsimiles of rare books and manuscripts in the
Penn Library's collections. Its ongoing mission is to make accessible to the global
community of scholars and researchers primary source materials that would otherwise
be difficult to access. The site is free and open to all in the interests of knowledge and
learning."
