"The celebrated Chronicles of England, or "Brut Chronicle", is the earliest prose chronicle in English and was the most popular history of England in the Middle Ages. The Chronicle traces the history of Britain from its earliest (mythical) time (Albinia), including stories of legendary kings such as Brutus of Troy (hence its name), Lear and Arthur, and is quite detailed for the period starting with the reign of Edward I." This text, University of Michigan MS 225, is shown purely as images, without any transcription or translation. The quality of the images is quite high and useful for anyone interested in reading the original text.

"This file contains translations from the Anglo-Saxon of the following works: "Genesis A", "Genesis B", "Exodus", "Daniel", and "Christ and Satan". All are works found in the manuscript of Anglo-Saxon verse known as "Junius 11" (Oxford, Bodleian Library 5123), which was compiled sometime toward the end of the 10th Century A.D. These works were originally written in Anglo-Saxon, sometime between the 7th and 10th Centuries A.D. Although sometimes ascribed to the poet Caedmon (fl. late 7th Century), it is generally thought that these poems do not represent the work of one single poet."

Texts are given in four versions: interlaced texts (modern English and Old English together), modern English, Old English and Runic.

"This site is a prototype testing ways to present medieval manuscripts in digital form. We have scanned six manuscripts of the Roman de la Rose from the collections of the Walters Art Museum (W. 143), the Pierpont Morgan Library (M. 948), the Bodleian Library of Oxford University (MS. Douce 195, MS. Douce 332 and MS. Selden Supra 57), and the J. Paul Getty Museum (MS. Ludwig XV 7). All folios of these manuscripts may be viewed and compared, and a portion of the text is searchable." But to get in, you have to request a password.

"The Gutenberg Bible, the first book printed with movable type, is one of the greatest treasures in the Ransom Center's collections. It was printed at Johann Gutenberg's shop in Mainz, Germany and completed in 1454 or 1455. The Center's Bible was acquired in 1978 and is one of only five complete examples in the United States." This site provides great view of the Gutenberg Bible. There is a very extensive history of the Bible as well as other materials of interest. The presentation and images are of top quality. You can browse through the Bible viewing thumbnails or jump to specific areas of interest. Each page can be enlarged to view even more detail.

"This work was discovered and published in 1516 by Martin Luther, who said of it that 'Next to the Bible and St. Augustine, no book has ever come into my hands from which I have learnt more of God and Christ, and man and all things that are.' It has since appealed to Christians of all persuasions."
