Hi everyone,
Windstorm is proud to have a librarium with no less than 13 books! In those days that was a wealth untold since we are before the printing press and each book represents months or years of handwriting, usually by monks. The topics therefor are mostly religious, botanical or historical.
I found this and thought you might like a glimpse. Of course age has faded this book, which can be found on display in the Plantin Moretus Museum. It's a 9th century Carolingian manuscript, and thanks to our wonderful technology, you can browse right through it!
Go to This page www.museumplantinmoretus.be/Plantin-Moretus-NL/PlantinMoretus-NL/Startpagina-Plantin-Moretus-NL-Museum-Plantin-MoretusPrentenkabinet/Startpagina-Plantin-Moretus-NL-Museum-Plantin-MoretusPrentenkabinet-Collectie/Collectie--Historiek-Virtuele-rondleiding/Het-Carmen-Paschale.html
and click at the underlined link at the bottom of the dutch text that says:
"Bekijk het Carmen Paschale in detail". For some reason I can not copy the link here directly, but trust me.. it is worth the extra click.
