I've quite accidentally become aware that the Laurentian library in Florence has placed online a vast number of its manuscripts. It looks as if they have done the Plutei collection, which contains all the classical Greek and Latin manuscripts and many of the patristic mss as well.

Here's the link to the search page. Just bang in Tacitus or Eusebius and see what you get. (You get 10 results a time). The images are the second icon from the left on the results row.

The two manuscripts of Tacitus' Annals, M1 and M2, are both included.

You can also save out individual pages to your disk, which helps if you want to try to enhance the image.

This is, of course, very exciting news!

All the best,
