Quartos Online: The Bloody Terrific British Library Exhibit



      Okay, you KNEW this blog was going to link to this sooner or later, didn't you? Didn't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was inevitable.   I am as constant as the Northern star... as all good Canadians should be....

      Actually, the scans are excellent (of which the one above is a smaller version; larger images are available so you could, at least in theory, read the entire texts online). It's fascinating just getting such clear glimpses of the texts without having even to lift one's ass from one's chair. It's too bad this sort of thorough exhibit was not available when I was teaching Shakie. See also this article from the BBC on the exhibit. The whole thing is just tits to knickers.
