Getting Sidetracked: Image Databases Part 2.

So, as announced, more sorting out of links.

e-codices is aiming to make all the medieval manuscripts in Switzerland available as digitised images - more than 2000 documents are already online.

An annotated list of manuscripts with images regarding clothing can be found on the Wienische Handwerksliute site. Annotations and list are in German.

Die Hausbücher der Nürnberger Zwölfbrüderstiftung are also available online, with possibilities of searching for items or jobs. There is even an English search helper.

The National Library of the Netherlands has an Illuminated Manuscripts database, in English and searchable.

The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge has an online Explorer where you can search the collections. Their online exhibitions are also worth a look!

Individual manuscripts are also available in the Cambridge University Library, among them a copy of the Gutenberg Bible, a 13th century Life of Edward the Confessor and a tenth-century Gospel book.

More individual manuscripts are in the Digital Collection of the Württembergische Landesbibliothek Stuttgart.
