This is my first list message. I am Robert D. Peckham (common net handle = TennesseeBob). I am not an expert in the production of facsimiles or "surrogates". As a French teacher at the University of Tennessee at Martin, I manage the Muriel Thomlinson Language Resource Center. For about a year, we ran MkLinux.org until it moved out to California. As a scholar, my area is medieval French, and I am founder/webmaster of Société François Villon, which has a yearly online bibliography. I have taken on a medieval manuscript project for the Andy Holt Virtual Library. In the larger project

I simply wanted to link lessons and discussions about codecology and paleography, along with digitized manuscript facsimiles. I had hoped to be able to find some that the UCLA team had not, with

Consulting Medieval Manuscripts Online

In July at the AATF convention in Chicago, I will be presenting the only part of this that I am really qualified to do:

Manuscripts of Medieval France with Vernacular Texts

This is a work in progress, and I have been taking advice from colleagues on MEDTEXTL, researchers in a European Research Council Project, editors with Libraria, Pecia and Archivalia, basically anyone with the tolerance to answer questions.
