[MR] Research Resource: Digitized Library

[Garth Groff]

M'Lady Felicity, and friends,

Don't miss the Luttrell Psalter: 
http://www.bl.uk/collections/treasures/luttrell/luttrell_broadband.htm?middle 
. These are some of the best 14th century illustrations available. 
Sadly, the whole book is over 300 pages, and so much good stuff is not here.

Wag Screen has a delightful film based on the Luttrell Psalter using 
live actors: http://www.wagscreen.co.uk/site/lp-news.php . It is very 
well done, and the "extras" not on the web site make the DVD well worth 
buying. I keep hoping their two more recent films (THE GILBERTINES and 
ECHOES OF THE PAST) will show up on DVD.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
