medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Talking about resources on the web: Nearly the whole body of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (except volumes printed less than five years ago) is available under http://www.dmgh.de. So far there are only fairly good jpgs of the volumes, but it is apparently planned to have a searchable database at a later stage as well. Karl-Georg Schon -----Original Message----- From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Al Magary Sent: Samstag, 21. Januar 2006 07:01 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [M-R] DuCange Glossarium (was Re: [M-R] Martyr) medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture DuCange is available in *much* better PDFs, from new scans, at the Stanford Medieval & Modern Thought digitization project: http://standish.stanford.edu/bin/page?forward=home When you see them you will immediately discard the wretched Gallica PDFs which were made from old scratched film. The 1840-50 ed. (7 vols.) of DuCange is available as is the 1857 supplement. The 1883-87 ed. (10 vols.) is incomplete at the moment but I just this week persuaded the manager to put the missing vols. 1, 5, and 7 higher in the scanning queue, so you can look for them soonish. For those interested in the vast Rolls Series, MMT has quite a lot of volumes already online--the Matthew Paris range is nearly complete--again in *much* better PDFs than at Gallica, and more may be coming. Also online: Hampson's Medii Aevi Kalendarium (both vols.); six of M.R. James' descriptive catalogues of Cambridge MSS; Froissart's Chroniques, ed. Buchart (14 vols.); Baring-Gould's Lives of the British Saints (4 vols.); and more. Stanford MMT's bibliographic data is not bad but the database functions are weak--eg, no single search/browse tool will turn up all the James catalogues--so look thoroughly.
