At www.theeuropeanlibrary.org you’ll find a newly designed website that offers access to the collections of Europe’s 48 national libraries, plus a growing number of leading research libraries.
New features include the ability to:
• Search more quickly and easily
• Export records to reference management tools Mendeley and Zotero
• Access full metadata (for registered users)
In addition, they’ve just launched their latest virtual exhibition.
Manuscripts and Princes in Medieval and Renaissance Europe features 34 of the most important illuminated manuscripts, from the more than 1,000 digitised by the Europeana Regia project.
These rare and valuable books were once owned by Carolingian Emperors, French King Charles V and the Aragonese kings of Naples. You can zoom in on each manuscript, flip through it page by page and even compare two manuscripts.
