Medieval Manuscript Collection – Syracuse University

Pope - Medieval ManuscriptsI was stumbling the Internet this morning, and first of all, came across a list of 100 extensive libraries that anyone from around the world can access, and on that list was the Syracuse University Digital Library, so I clicked that link and about half-way down the page was a link to a digital collection of western medieval manuscripts dating from the 13th century to the 16th century. The collection includes scanned texts and images from: an apocalyptic text by Telesphorus; glossed decretals of popes Innocent IV and Gregory IX; a Dominican gradual of saints; a part of the Old Testament which consists of a fragment of the Books of Tobit and Esther, and a complete Book of Judith; and six Books of Hours.

The medieval manuscripts are written in Latin and come from Spain, England, Italy, France, Germany, and Austria. The image above is from the Novellae of Pope Innocent IV and Decretales of Pope Gregory IX cum glossis collection, “f.79r, Pope hearing a petition (detail).
