Interested in tales of King Arthur, knights of the round table, the holy grail? I have just posted to the Andy Holt Virtual Library collection a first draft of a page devoted principally to the manuscripts containing the works of Chrétien de Troyes, at the inspirational heart of arthurian lore:
Chrestien de Troyes
http://www.utm.edu/staff/bobp/vlibrary/chrestien.shtml
It is connected to the sub collection,
Manuscripts of Medieval France with Vernacular Texts
http://www.utm.edu/staff/bobp/vlibrary/frmedmss.shtml
I will have a subsequent page devoted to manuscripts of the rest of medieval French arthurian literature.

Dear all,
Tomorrow afternoon, at 16:00 UK time (=11:00 Eastern; 17:00 CET; etc.)
there will be a Digital Classicist Wiki sprint. Interested parties will
gather in the #digiclass IRC chatroom
(http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/DigiClass_IRC_Channel) at any time in
the two-hour slot, and contribute to work improving the wiki content.
This may include:
* adding new project descriptions, or improving existing ones, or
approaching relevant experts to add their own project information;
* adding new tool descriptions;
* longitudinally rationalizing the use of categories in the Wiki;
* adding other descriptive or supporting information to the Wiki as
required.
Last month some good work on categories was achieved (see now
http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Special:Categories). Some areas still
need more work (e.g. linguistics; Byzantine; archaeology; Near Eastern
languages).
All welcome,
Gabby
