This app provides access to beautiful manuscripts I wouldn't ever get to see otherwise, and in a very user-friendly interface, and I love how you can zoom in so close. I just wish there were more apps like this one! Now if only I could actually read any of these languages... :)
Really bad
Love browsing through this app it gives me inspiration every day! Sometimes I find that it takes a while to load images but other than that, great app!
If ever an app deserved its 5 stars, it's this one. While other similar apps charge much more for a few selected images of highlights in their collection, this app opens a generous portion of their collection to your own self-guided, hi-resolution tour. And what really sets this app apart is that you don't get to see just a couple of selected pages, you have access to the entire book, just as if you were actually in the library, looking at the artifact in person. Actually, you have better access to these treasures with this app than you would in person. Want to see and read an original Gutenberg Bible? Here it is, every chapter and verse of the original. This app offers a glimpse at the kind of visionary research tool the internet could-and should-be. Absolutely outstanding app.
This app is fantastic :) The images are lovely and the text is beautiful! I recommend this app for anyone who loves old texts and beautiful images!
Absolutely gorgeous
Amazing!!!!!! I wish every major library would do something like this. So wonderful too see these manuscripts in such high quality digital images... on one's phone! Highly recommended! Thanks to the BSB for this fantastic app!
Thank you so much for the time and effort that went into this. It's wonderful.
As someone with a great interest in Medieval literature, this collection is a wonderful treat. You have access to beautifully-rendered scans of every single page of many extremely old, delicate works that you would otherwise never even have a chance to see. I'm very impressed, and I hope that more rare book collections like this one become available in the future. It's any scholar's dream!
Not a better way to have medieval manuscript in the palm of your hands!
