Overview
The Winchester Manuscript (BL Add. MS 59678)

This project for the first time provides users with high quality colour images of the whole of the Winchester Manuscript. We also publish close-up images of significant physical aspects of the manuscript which have so far been inaccessible: the use of colour, the vellum leaf used to repair the manuscript, the traces of printer's ink on several pages, the watermarks, or the dry-point glosses. The images were captured by a team of experts in digitization from the HUMI Project led by Director Professor Toshiyuki Takamiya and Technical Director Professor Masaaki Kashimura in 2003.
