Reflecting Medieval Manuscripts: RTI at Spencer Research Library

Site Components

This site offers many features that will interest medieval scholars while being mindful of a student audience. The exhibit uses visual and interactive components such as videos and manuscript diagrams. Video tours show the manuscripts under various light conditions and with different enhancements. Please note that the embedded manuscript photos were taken with a flash gun to highlight surface details. The manuscripts are best understood by looking at and comparing the image sets. Immense effort was made to divide concepts into small parts and to simplify word choice. The text is formatted for reading ease with the Flesch-Kincaid index to ensure that information is laid out in a clear way that preserves context. The final section of the website includes a glossary of terms. Some definitions are linked in the main text so that the viewer can click on a word to find its meaning.
