Happy New Year!

Dear Sexy Codicologists, We would like to wish everyone of you the best for this 2020! At  the same time we would like to thank everyone for their continued support for our projects. We have set some great goals for ourselves and the DMMapp / Sexy Codicology Blog for this year. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making all of this possible. Let's make this a great year!

DMMapp March Update

Thanks to the many reports we have received over the past couple of months we are happy to announce that the DMMapp is approching the end of its "Beta". Planned for the end of the month!

DMMapp 4.0: Open Beta ending soon, release planned!

In over two months you have helped us spotting quite some bugs on our new DMMapp, and now we believe that the time has come to embrace the future and archive the old DMMapp completely. An what better period to do so if not early in the new year?

DMMapp 4.0 is on the way!

Yes! There is more on the way for what concerns the DMMapp. As you might know, we have recently given you the possibility to report broken links in our DMMapp. We are happy to communicate that it has been a great success, and its working better than expected. A big thank you for all those who have reported an issue with the links! Now, this has been a great improvement for everyone; but it has lead to a new problem for the micro-team behind Sexy Codicology: Links break all the time, and we want all the links fixed, so: how can we update the data on the DMMapp, in a timely and efficient manner?

DMMapp plugin for Chrome & Firefox!

Yes! Just like the medieval monks, we have sat behind our desks writing the code(x)! The result? An improved DMMapp plugin, now also available for Firefox users. The DMMapp plugin allows you to search the DMMapp's database directly, without having to go the website first. For example: Searching for the manuscripts from the Getty Museum? Simply click on the plugin's icon, start typing "Getty", and the link will appear, ready to take you to the digitized objects you need. You can search by:
