I came across this enews snippet announcing a new medieval manuscripts network.
”Researchers create vast virtual library of medieval manuscripts”
”Somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 rare and precious medieval manuscripts have been scanned over the past decade into formats that could be studied over the Internet.”
Definitely interesting for even casual readers. Perusing the English manuscripts for example I came across 15th century recipes for wild game as well as cures and treatments for the plague. In times like these one can never be sure when she might need both!
