Digital Text Library

The Digital Text Library is a collection of mostly out of print and difficult to find books and articles relating to animals in the Middle Ages. The originals of the texts listed here are believed to be in the public domain. They have been scanned from the original sources and most have been converted to digital text (not page images), then carefully proofread and corrected. Any images have been digitally enhanced and are shown at high resolution. Most of the texts are fully searchable, and since they are real text, not page images, portions can be copied and pasted into other documents.

Some texts are taken from other sources (Google Books, Internet Archive, etc.). These may include only images of the original book pages and may not be searchable. In some cases the relevant sections have been extracted from longer or composite works or journals. These texts are listed here for ease of access; links to the original full texts are given in the descriptions.

The digital text catalog below is initially listed by title in alphabetical order, but you can click on any column header to sort by that column.
