Comments on links:
Gallica: Without
any doubt The
Best One. It has a lot of scanned books, complete and with good
resolution and freely downloadable
Cisne: It
has about 2000 completely scanned titles (though not only science). Low
definition. If you want high definition you have to pay for it.
Cnum: It
has a small number of science books, but complete and with good resolution. Of
great interest is the completely scanned magazine “La
Nature: 1873-1905,
68 vol”
Aboca: It
has some important science authors, but it only scans a few pages of each book.
Nielrow B.: It contains a huge amount of links to scanned old books and much
more...
Bium: Ancient
scanned books on-line related to the history of medicine. e.g., it has “Libavius’ Alchemia,
1606 edition”
Philological: It
contains a huge amount of links to scanned
neo-latin books
AZOGUE: It
contains many links to transcriptions, scanned books and manuscripts mainly
related to Alchemy and Old Chemistry
CAMENA: It
contains a few scanned Latin science books with transcriptions. I use a lot Blanckaert’s
Lexicon
Medicum.
Institute: It
contains many ancient science books, complete and partially scanned.
SCID: It
contains many important digitalized science books.
