Pseudo-Dioscorides, Liber medicinae ex herbis femininis (London, British Library, MS Harley 5294, f. 43v).
We are delighted to announce that the remaining manuscripts in our Harley Science Project have now been published to the British Library's Digitised Manuscripts site. All 150 manuscripts in this project have been digitised and recatalogued thanks to the generosity of William and Judith Bollinger. We hope that this resource, part of our ongoing campaign to make our collection items more accessible, will promote new research into the books in question. Many of the texts featured in this project are by authors (such as Aristotle, Bede, Roger Bacon and Thomas Hobbes) who stood at the forefront of antique, medieval and early modern scientific discovery; and we hope sincerely that they would have approved of our mission to make their works more widely available.
