Subject: This site is worth a visit ....... ------

This is one of the best orgnized and most beautiful sites I've ever come
across. The focus here is a medieval manuscript. The site features are a
paragon of cimplicity and user-friendly management of scholalrly knowldge.
The information structure and close-up zoom features can be adapted to
dozens of disciplines.

This site is worth a visit for anyone planning a web site or interested in
infromation design, information structures and knowledge heirarchies.


5.  The Life of Edward the Confessor--CUL
http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/MSS/Ee.3.59/

Cambridge University library has recently made available online "the only
copy of a thirteenth-century Anglo-Norman, illuminated Life of St. Edward
the Confessor." The manuscript, written in the 1230s or 40s and executed in
the 1250s or 60s, is well-preserved, and its new availability should be a
boon for medievalists. Cambridge's site allows users to page through all 37
folios, beginning with the first, or to obtain descriptions of each folio
and view them selectively. Users can zoom in on all or part of a page or
view pages side-by-side. The site also includes a brief introduction to the
manuscript and suggestions for further reading. [TK]
