It almost like having one on your coffee table. Earlier this year, the British Library digitized two versions of the Gutenberg Bible, one printed on paper from the library of King George III and another version that was printed on vellum. The detailed illumination that can be seen in some of the larger images is absolutely gorgeous. The only thing that might make this even better, would be to have John Warnock’s hobby company, Octavo create an annotated Acrobat document out of it. Then it would come complete with goodies like searchable, and translated, live text like this edition of De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium. Via calebos.org
