Here at Facsimile Finder<\/strong> everyday we get to handle high quality replicas of beautiful illuminated<\/span>\u00a0manuscripts. Nothing beats the moment when a new facsimile enters the office ready to be unwrapped!
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Giovanni loves leafing through the pages to discover miniatures<\/strong> and interesting features so we decided to share this stimulating experience with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may think \u201cWell, that\u2019s what digital galleries are for!\u201d, however, that is not exactly true, for, although digital galleries are certainly groundbreaking tools, they do lack a couple of features that we thought we could humbly cater for.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Digital galleries or facsimile editions? Both!<\/span><\/div>\n

A case in point: Would you be able to tell the actual size of the Hours of Jeanne d\u2019Evreux<\/strong><\/a> only by looking at its digital gallery? The high resolution zoom certainly allows us to see details to a higher degree than the naked eye, however, it is misleading when trying to figure out the format of the actual manuscript.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is where Facsimile Finder plays a significant role! As you watch Giovanni\u2019s hands go through the pages of the facsimiles<\/strong>, you\u2019ll hopefully be able to get a sense of the physicality<\/em> of the original manuscript and have an idea of what it would be like to leaf through a centuries-old relic.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

<\/span>These short videos will become a permanent feature<\/a> of the product page of Facsimile Finder in addition to our lovely high resolution picture gallery. You will be able to virtually browse any facsimile you like, not too shabby!<\/span><\/div>\n

Facsimile Finder Lands on Youtube!<\/h2>\n

But that’s not all! As a result of a constantly-growing gallery of videos Facsimile Finder has also launched its own Youtube<\/strong><\/a> channel where you can check out our weekly releases!<\/span><\/p>\n

You will be introduced to this new amazing feature by a video starring Giovanni himself<\/strong> (we will not confirm or deny any rumors regarding the amount of takes involved in the making of this video – hint: a lot!). We put a lot of effort into this project so we really hope you will enjoy it!<\/span><\/p>\n
