Links and Lindisfarne
So I was listening to CBC's Music and Company this morning, trying to convince myself it was a good idea to get up (and you know you're in trouble when Figaro's first song from the Barber of Seville isn't chipper and cheerful enough to make you leap out of bed, but that's another story), when they got to their web links segment, and I rediscovered a few familiar links I hadn't visited for a while. And from the bookslut blog I discovered that the British Library has put a facsimile of part of the Lindisfarne Gospels (among other famous books) online. Complete with magnifier, so if you want to examine the little Old English glosses you can knock yourself out.
I wonder where one could vote to have the Beowulf manuscript made available next, or if the CD facsimile that Kiernan did a while back means that's off the cards?
