Links
And More Links (but some of these do lack recent maintenance!)

Senate House Library, University of London: Manuscript Studies A useful set of links related to manuscript studies, virtual manuscripts and paleography.

Manuscript Images and History of Writing A substantial links page, with sections on calligraphy as well as to historical sites.

Articles for your Pleasure! This is quite a substantial set of links with perhaps a special interest for calligraphers. It is worth mousing around the rest of the site as there are interesting bits and pieces here.

Medieavum.de This German link site has an English language front end, which will get you as far as the lists under various topic headings. The sites listed are in various languages. There is a Manuscripts, Incunabula and Early Prints section.

Texts, Manuscripts and Paleography Links And more links.

The Labyrinth once got you to most medieval sites of value on the web, but it seems to have lapsed as its authors have moved on to new projects. It has a modest list of manuscript sites, but it seems that Georgetown University's own medieval material has been removed. Must be a story here, but I think The Labyrinth is becoming part of web history.

NetSERF - Manuscript Illumination An elegant link page to a small selection of manuscript illumination sites, but NetSERF seems to have forgotten that manuscripts were also written on.

Medieval Multimedia - Digitizing the Middle Ages The manuscript projects from the University of Melbourne are the latest thing on the block, but the link page is more than a little out of date.

Internetquellen zu Handscriften A very comprehensive link page to sites of paleographical interest, German language but links to sites in various languages.

Handschriftenforschung im Internet German language site with links to other German language paleography sites and databases.

Virtuelle Bibliothek - Geschichte Mittelalterliche Geschichte Handschriften A German language site with a good annotated list of links.

Ménestrel A French language medieval link site with various relevant sections, including paleography and manuscript illumination. The site is undergoing reorganisation, so all parts might not be fully functional.

Chaucer Metapage A page of links to various Chaucer related resources.

Library and Archival Exhibitions on the Web The Smithsonian Institute Libraries host this database of online exhibitions relating to libraries and archives.

Legal Research links - Legal History - Middle Ages From a resource site for lawyers in Queensland, this section provides links to an assortment of medieval legal texts online. Perhaps lawyers are one of the few professional groups who understand their debt to medieval history!

Midrealm Order of the Laurel: Links: Scribal Arts I tend to have a bit of an allergy to the Society for Creative Anachronisms, but this is a very good database style link page with an array of interesting links. Just give the biffings and banquets a miss!

Manuscripts, Manuscript Collections, Rare Books A purely link site with a substantial list, including all the usual suspects and perhaps a few different ones.

Medieval Imagination Mainly links to literary sources and appropriate background material, from the University of Pittsburgh.

Heraldry on the Internet A set of links to information on heraldry. It does not include the College of Arms site and does carry advertising for downloads of your "family" coat of arms - a big no-no with the College of Arms themselves. Use with discretion.

The Medieval Science Page A link page that might just get you started on this fascinating and undervalued topic. Yes, they did have science in those days.

Andy Holt Virtual Library: Web Access for Manuscript-based Textual Scholarship A huge plain link list from GlobeGate and TennesseeBob, the cybermedievalist with the longest lists.

Digitale Handschriften A list of colletions of more than 10 medieval or Renaissance manuscripts. Presentations of fragments are not counted. As a wiki site, one might expect it to be regularly updated by contributors.

Collectors' Post - Medieval Drama Links A large list with links to a range of topics associated with medieval drama, including texts, articles and bibliographies, news, discussion groups, drama production, art, music and dance. It is part of a site which sells paper ephemera, including theatre playbills, so the owner must be a medieval enthusiast.

Old English Links This has links to a range of utility resources for the study of medieval English language material, but it may be a bit out of date in parts.
