- Visit: Catalogue of Digitized Medieval Manuscripts. I especially recommend viewing such manuscripts as "Les Très Riches Heures de Metz", which was produced in the years 1300-1310 but has beautiful illuminations (skip the first few pages because there seems to have been some damage, but if you go further in the book, it's gorgeous). For a manuscript produced circa 700, visit this site.
