Medieval Manuscripts from the Bibliothèque nationale de France
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The Bibliothèque nationale de France has agreed to provide digitized copies of their holdings of fourteenth and fifteenth century manuscripts containing the works of Guillaume de Machaut for display in the Stanford-developed interoperable environment (DMSTech). Some twenty-five manuscripts of interest to all medievalists, and ranging from sumptuous complete-works books created for royal patrons to rough poetic miscellanies of unknown provenance, represent the single largest digital collection devoted to a figure who influenced not only the course of French literature and music, but, through his significant influence on Geoffrey Chaucer, the development of English literature as well.
