Images of Medieval Manuscripts from Leeds University Library

Some 685 digital images from our medieval illuminated manuscripts are now
available online: http://ludos.leeds.ac.uk/collection/medmss. Twenty-seven
different manuscripts have been drawn on for the project, including four from
Ripon Cathedral Library (held at Leeds University Library). Apart from the Hours
associated with the Bedford Master Workshop (Brotherton Collection MS 1),
the Genealogical History Roll (Brotherton Collection MS 100) and one small
fragment, which have been photographed in full, the manuscripts are
represented selectively, but all miniatures and all significant illuminated borders
and initials have been included.
