>Medieval Monastic Library of Lorsch recreated online.
The unique holdings of the medieval monastic library of Lorsch, currently
scattered over 68 libraries worldwide, are being re-compiled into a virtual
library. Heidelberg University Library and local government officials in
Germany have been working since March of 2010 to publish the 330 surviving
Lorsch manuscripts and manuscript fragments online.

interesting.
looks like they've still got quite a few mss. to do yet:

being Francophiliacly inclined, my hope would be that the same sort of thing
might someday be done to virtually reconstruct the library of Fleury, as
cataloged by
Marco Mostert, The library of Fleury: a provisional list of manuscripts.
Hilversum, 1989.
i don't think that i'll be Holding my Breath for that, however.
