- throwaway888abc 3y agoyes, unfortunate deleted, just tried BTW. amazing share and work, thanks !
- ikekkdcjkfke 3y agoHmm... I wonder if there was a site that archives internet stuff
- 0xfedbee 3y agoHow can I get everything in a single PDF?

- agos 3y agoI'm lucky enough that I can buy tickets and look at the manuscript in person this afternoon, but I can't help but feel this should be open source
- botanical 3y agoThis is a great effort but the image quality isn't very high for me, it's quite blurry. At what DPI was this scanned? Or is it an artefact of the images being compressed JPG files?
- anfractuosity 3y agoYeah it's very cool, but shame there seems to be JPG artefacts to me too.
- scovetta 3y agoYou can find higher-quality JPEGs (yes, still lossy, and not super high quality) by replacing: Thumbnail: https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/100/000R-220.jpg https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/100/000R-220.j... Direct Image URL (default, 500 pixels wide) https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/500/000R-220.jpg https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/500/000R-220.j... Higher Quality (2,000 pixels wide) https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/2000/000R-220.jpg https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/2000/000R-220.... Obviously, you could script something to grab them all (like `for i in {1..1118}; do wget "https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/2000/000R-$i.jpg https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/2000/000R-$i.j..."; done`) I don't know what other directories like 100, 500, or 2000 are available, but there might be something higher than 2000.
