BNF Mandragore database is one of three major French collections of illuminated mss that's now linked through a single portal: http://www.manuscritsenlumines.fr/ I don't know if that means they're taking out the gallica index links, but perhaps you can search for the ms there and see if there's a new main page? I love the BNF images and hate hate hate their search engines and frames. I'm hoping this new portal will be an improvement, but it's brand new and I haven't yet had a project that has given me the excuse to play with it. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
