Eight decades ago, a book collector from Cleveland gathered an impressive array of medieval manuscripts, then divided them into 40 boxes and dispersed them to locations around the world, in an effort to increase the accessibility of such rare antiquities. But over the years, scholars had lost track of the boxes, and the collector’s vision was never truly realized. Now, two Canadian scholars are hard at work tracking down the boxes (they’ve found 33 already,) with the aim of digitally reconstructing the original manuscripts so that they can be shared with the entire world.
