August 16, 2005: Medieval Manuscripts in the Digital Age
"But now anyone with access to a computer can learn a great deal about "Roman de la Rose" by visiting the website rose.mse.jhu.edu. Launched by Johns Hopkins University as a prototype for testing ways to present medieval manuscripts in digital form, the site offers rare and valuable works in the collections of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the Bodleian Library at Oxford University in England — providing opportunities for side-by-side analysis of texts and illustrations."
