How cool is this? Hypotyposes posts a note announcing that the NT MSS owned by the Bibelmuseum Muenster have been photographed and the images are now available online.

The images are of miniscules (cursives) and lectionaries dating from the 10th-14th centuries, and they appear to be complete representations of the MSS, not samples. It took a little for this non-German speaker to figure out the interface, but it's easy to navigate after giving it a little thought.

Check it out. This is so very cool.

BTW, if anyone knows of an online reference detailing ligatures and abbreviations used in miniscule script, I'd appreciate knowing about it, or a link, or something.
