Being 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.

Neat!
But... I can read one of the books (well look at it, I don't read French) but I don't see a link to download it all at once.

Oohh I think I found it Télécharger = download.
What's your favorite beer I owe you a 6 pack, (or a decent bottle of wine).

TELECHARGE ME BABY!

Uh, um, I like Newcastle. And Italian wine. Anything Valpolicella!

I'm assuming you've found all the medieval illustrations and illuminations (well, not all, but various searchable ones in the database). I'd think those might be quite inspiration for your art.

Oh yeah, I'll be looking for that as well as books on games.
I'm currently downloading L'art du tourneur Diderot's work on wood turning. Woohoo!
Oh to have a high speed connection in stead of the dial-up...

I suppose it might be faster if I went someplace with free wifi and had a couple beers?

Research always is faster with beer.

I was going to ask "what's BNF in this context", but I think I just figured it out*. I'm a little slow today, probably because I haven't been awake for very long.

* Bibliotecque Nationale Francaise, being lazy about accents.

Yessssssssss.

starcat_jewel just pointed me over here. I don't need to know anything about you besides this one entry... :-D

And yet, you're also a friend of NeoG, with whom I went to grad school (before she moved schools).

Yep, we recently friended each other. "LiveJournal: it's better than Kalamazoo!"
