The Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland. Browse through over 3'000 fully digitized manuscripts on your iPhone and iPad. Over 1'000'000 pages in high resolution. Bookmark, download and view manuscripts offline. Includes scholarly manuscript descriptions from official catalogs.
Explore medieval and early modern manuscripts from Swiss collections on iPhone and iPad. Browse illuminated codices, papyri, fragments, liturgical books, literary works, scientific texts, and even modern autographs such as Albert Einstein’s. The collection spans many centuries and languages, from Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Sanskrit, and Persian to French, English, Old High German and even Nahuatl.
The Swiss libraries have done a huge service in digitizing and making manuscripts available through e-codices. Maybe they can encourage the Ambrosian Library to do something similar!
