Greetings all, Unfortunate news from Sibley regarding the Lord Danby Lute Book. They are unable to digitize the manuscript since the scanning process would be to invasive for this fragile manuscript. As of now, the microfilms will be the sole medium in which they are available. I have, however, been advised as to how to digitize these microfilm pages here at Sibley and, time permitting (I am a busy Masters student), I could get them in a .pdf format and make the files available.
Hope I didn't get anybody too excited over the issue. I'll keep the list posted as to the status.
