Going forward!
2023 is bringing some changes to the way Sexy Codicology and the Digitized Medieval Manuscripts app (DMMapp) will go forth!
Coding Codices - Episode 1: Sexy Codicology and the DMMapp

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!

April Links Update List
Another month has passed! Here are the latest changes on the DMMapp data:
The New DMMapp
The goal of the DMMapp has always been to ease access to digitized medieval manuscripts across the web. We think did quite an OK job at that until now, but the time has come to radically improve what we currently have!
Tackling Broken Links!
Some time ago we published a blog post showing how broken links to digitized repositories on the DMMapp were a problem, causing them to become inaccessible to users. This was a major problem for us: Researchers count on the DMMapp to find and access digitized colletctions, and it is obviously a major blow to the project if they cannot achieve the one thing they came there to do. Also users that simply want to explore collections can easily get frustrated if they stumble upon broken links.
Conference coming up! (9th September, Ghent, Belgium)
Yep, we will be speaking again! If you are in Ghent, Belgium, on Saturday 9 September, you should come by the following conference:
What's the Sexy Codicology Team up to?
We have been working a bit in the shadows lately, and we thought it might be interesting to share what we have been up to! There are news concerning both the DMMapp, the Sexy Codicology Blog. Let's go with order:
IIIF - The digitized manuscripts revolution we've all been waiting for!
We created the DMMapp to make it easier for you to find collections of digitized manuscripts - and IIIF is making it easier for you to view, study, and compare manuscripts. In this post we are going to tell you all about why it’s awesome!
In 2011, a group of international libraries and universities (Stanford University, The British Library, Bodleian Libraries, The Bibliothèque nationale de France, the National Library of Norway, Cornell University, and Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Library) set up the International Image Interoperability Framework, or, in short, IIIF (pronounced as triple-I-F).
