The Digital Text Library is a collection of mostly out of print and difficult to find books and articles relating to animals in the Middle Ages. The originals of the texts listed here are believed to be in the public domain. They have been scanned from the original sources and converted to digital text (not page images), then carefully proofread and corrected. Any images have been digitally enhanced and are shown at high resolution. All of the texts are fully searchable, and since they are real text, not page images, portions can be copied and pasted into other documents. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The digital text catalog below is listed in alphabetical order by title, but you can sort it by any column by clicking the column heading. Clicking on the title will take you to the introduction page of the text, from where you can view or download the text. You can also search<\/a> this entire site, using the Google search engine, to find texts of interest by keyword.<\/p>\n
