The Domesday book …

… no doubt you’ll be able to access the new online edition some time next week. As is becoming traditional in these matters, it was launched with much fanfare yesterday, and crashed under the strain.

In the meantime meantime, a site that is working, Jordanus: An International Catalogue of Mediaeval Scientific Manuscripts. “It provides information about mediaeval manuscripts written in Western Europe between 500 and 1500 A.D. which treat the mathematical sciences in the wider sense, i.e. arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and mechanics.”

Hat-tip to Medieval Woman.
