Today's link is to an amazing collection containing nearly "nearly five hundred catalogued manuscripts and early printed books" from the University of Pennsylvania Libraries online collection.  Navigating and using the site takes requires a bit of experimentation, but with a little practice you can view, zoom and print these wonderful images. 

On the home page, you'll want to choose "Quick links to the individual collection home pages," and choose one of the collections.  For example, select:

• Option 1: "Lawrence J. Schoenberg Manuscripts, Catalog and Database";
• then " Medieval and Early Modern Works"; and 
• "Browse the list of online facsimiles" to view a list of 65 digitized manuscripts.

I really like being able to zoom in and print images.  You can also bookmark individual manuscripts for future reference.
