The British Museum now offers you a chance to virtually thumb through selected pages of Leonardo Da Vinci's famous notebooks. The museum's award winning web presentation allows you to turn pages and view the sketches and thoughts of the Renaissance master. Audio commentary and text translation are part of the experience. Other books available online include Sultan Baybars' Qur'an, and 40 pages from the Lindisfarne Gospels, a remarkable illuminated manuscript written about 1300 years ago. This system works best on a PC with a high speed Internet Connection, although a dial-up modem version is also available. Consider a high tech visit to Turning the Pages on the Web for a glimpse of the past!
