Apr. 13th, 2006 10:15 amBeing able to legally download and print an old-French crusade chronicle from a 19th-century edition of the BNF site pretty much rocks.
But not as much as being to download 5 600-1000 page 19th-century collections of crusade sources. I love technology today.
Edit: It turns out that the French have been very, very, busy generating .pdfs of lots of stuff in the national library. I'm in the academic equivalent of a child who just ate tons of chocolate cake. Very happy. A little sugar-shocked.
