A widely published scholar on various aspects of medieval French drama and performance, his minute digital explorations of illuminated manuscripts have opened new ways of examining, cataloging, and appreciating the “book” as an idea. The DScriptorium, a collection of Medieval manuscripts gathered by Hurlbut and posted online, aims to meet the needs and interests of students and scholars working in palaeography, codicology and miniature studies by providing clear images of medieval manuscripts. Online since 1993. http://toisondor.byu.edu/dscriptorium.
