An exciting digitization project is currently underway at St John’s College Library, which will increase the accessibility of our western medieval, western post-1500, Middle Eastern and North African, and Greek manuscript collections. You can find out more about the overall plan for the project in this blog post. In brief, we will be digitizing images of the manuscripts themselves as well as making information from printed catalogues accessible online. We will also be showcasing a book of the month over on the St John’s College website. The Digital Library thumbnail descriptions have been informed, paraphrased, or replicated from the relevant St John’s catalogues.
