Digitized Medieval Manuscripts Maps – Website Launched

A new website Digitized Medieval Manuscripts Maps (DMMmaps), a “roadmap” to thousands of digitized medieval books, has been launched:

From the creators:

“There is something genuinely thrilling in browsing the maps, clicking on a semi-unknown digitized library, looking at a random manuscript, and suddenly discovering a miniature, a detail, and illumination that no one has looked at for years and sharing it with your followers. We want to make to make as many people as possible experience this thrill; and that’s why we created the DMMmaps.

These maps were designed to help scholars and enthusiasts explore and discover digitized medieval manuscripts made available all over the world.”
