Great links to online digital images of MSS and editions

Sites that are really good for this class:
  • To repeat, the International Piers Plowman Society's page includes among other treats an annotated online bibliography from ca. 1985-2006.
  • http://digital.lib.lehigh.edu/bookshelf/ where you will find links to two full-colour online facsimiles of two 1550 editions. The "1505" one is what I suggest for your portfolio.
  • The image from Harley 2376 is available here. You can click on for bigger images.
  • A complete full-colour facsimile of a manuscript--the only one I know of on the web--is of National Library of Wales MS 733b, available here.
  • You might also like to play around with The Piers Plowman Electronic Archive.
