BnF Manuscripts
Go here for a list of the BnF manuscripts now available online. They look like scans from films to me, rather than from the mss. themselves, though I would love to be wrong.
Well, if someone ordered a digitized version, they have that. For example, someone seems to be working with pretty digital photos of Petrus Thomae's Tractatus de Formalitatibus (BnF Latin 3433). Thank you for your service to the scholarly community.
Yes, that was me. An interesting ms., written in the hand of Pierre de Foix, 15th cen. papal legate to Spain and founder of the college de Foix in Toulouse. Sadly, he was a very poor copyist.
