medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture University libraries have quietly (too quietly, I think) been scanning some of their books for preservation purposes and, incidentally, placing the facsimiles online. I caught a link to some historic math books in the Cornell University Historical Monographs collection and found several religion titles of interest to this list (below). A fairly new site, Digital Books Index, which is free to users but commercially run, is attempting to round up such online resources. Besides the Gutenberg Project, academic etext/facsimile collections indexed so far: California (SunSite), Duke, MIT (Internet Classics), Virginia, Michigan (HTI), North Carolina, Oregon, Rochester (Camelot), Tufts (Perseus), Cornell, and Yale, also the National Academy Press and Library of Congress; Brock, McMaster, Toronto, York, and Creighton in Canada; Bristol in the UK and the British Library; Trinity College Dublin; Adelaide and Sydney in Australia; also 200 university presses. Bartleby, Bibliomania, NetLibrary, and several book publishers are also indexed. http://www.digitalbookindex.com/search001a.htm So this sampling from Cornell is a sample from the universe of digital books: http://historical.library.cornell.edu/cdl/index.html Catholic Church: The Irish Liber hymnorum, edited from the mss., with translations, notes, and glossary (Volume 1) The Irish Liber hymnorum, edited from the mss., with translations, notes, and glossary (Vol. 14) Missale romanum Mediolani, 1474 (Vol. 33) Ordinale Exon. [i.e. Exoniense]; Exeter Chapter ms. 3502 collated with Parker ms. 93. With two appendices from Trinity College, Cambridge ms. B.XI.16 and Exeter Chapter ms. 3625 (2 vols.) The second recension of the Quignon breviary, following an edition printed at Antwerp in 1537 and collated with twelve other editions; to which is prefixed a handlist of editions of the first and second recensions (Vol. 35) The tracts of Clement Maydeston, with the remains of Caxton's Ordinale (Vol. 7) Gambier-Parry, T.R.: The Colbertine breviary, edited from the copy in the British Museum (C.35.f.21.)

With an explanation of technical terms, and a centenary of ancient terms (London: David Bogue, 1849). 260 illus. Scott, George Gilbert, Sir: Lectures on the rise and development of mediaeval architecture delivered at the Royal Academy. 2 vols. Illus.
