I started nosing around the web site for the British Library, which I have mistakenly referred to as part of the British Museum in a recent post. I was going there looking for information about an idea I have dealing with blogs as being similar to a digital form of early pamphlets which floated around England in the mid-1600s. They do have the material but not on line. They do, however, have two copies of the Gutenburg Bible on line and a bunch of other stuff including two late 1400's Chaucers. As the images are in .jpg format maybe I will start using the big, fancy illuminated initial letters found in those documents.
