Dear DM community,

I am glad to inform you that the Innovating Knowledge project from Amsterdam is launching a beta version of its manuscript database today. The database collects information on all surviving and identified early medieval manuscripts transmitting the text of the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. If you wonder how many manuscripts are we talking about, the Isidore number is 461 at the moment (and counting!). 

You can enter the database and learn more about the project at: innovatingknowledge.nl.

Since the database is just a beta version and the project is still running for a few months, the project team would appreciate your feedback, which you can also provide through the Innovating Knowledge website. Any suggestions of new manuscripts to be included, or of corrections of and additions to manuscript records are also be appreciated.

With kind regards,
