Latest comment: 1 year ago by RW Dutton in topic "Links Galore" list of Rolls Series scans

I created this here because the English Wikisource say they accept bilingual translations where the target language is English ("Wikisource:What Wikisource Incudes#Translations". Unfortunately, the latin texts (which are the majority) don't have a translation, and it is not clear to me that having an "introduction" etc in English is enough to get them accepted into the English Wikisource. Nor is it clear to me whether the English Wikisource would accept extracts in English, instead of the whole work. James500 (talk) 06:37, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Google Books has the following editions which contain scans of the Rolls Series:

Google Books has a number of other editions of particular volumes from the Rolls Series, which include: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]. These should provide scans for some of the volumes not yet accounted for. James500 (talk) 04:58, 11 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

Diego Seguí ("Hláford") has a Google Sheets document called "Links Galore" which lists freely-readable (or controlled-digital-lending) scans of books in various scholarly editions. He mostly lists scans on the Internet Archive, HathiTrust and Google Books, but sometimes also scans on other sites. (Originally he listed his scans on the weblog "A Teubner A Day". The "blogroll" on that site lists various other people's lists of scans: presumably their work was incorporated into the "Links Galore" list.) "Links Galore"'s page for the Rolls Series lists scans for several Rolls Series volumes which don't have any scan listed on this page at present. It probably also lists scans of different physical copies of volumes which do appear here and/or different scans of physical copies which are already represented here. It would naturally make sense to incorporate some of those new links into this WikiSource page. RW Dutton (talk) 21:29, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
