The Walters was recently awarded a grant from the NEH for the
digitization of its English, Dutch, German, Byzantine, Armenian and
Ethiopian Mss. They used the application as a model for next year's

Turning Pages of Ancient Manuscripts
The best place to virtually turn pages of Islamic manuscripts, is at The Walters Art Museum. Just click on a book, and away you go. But remember that Islamic Books read from right to left, and not left to right!
Currently in a holding pattern at 1413 Jordan Street, waiting for a baby and learning how to blog :)
Flickring Medieval Manuscripts

The notion of posting one medieval manuscript image a day onto Flickr for the rest of my working life is immensely appealing, whether or not anyone watches. So farm, people are watching because I tweet about them. But its time I started blogging too. So here goes! I like this one, its a page from a ninth century Koran at the Walters, written in Kufic script with that Typical oblong format.
