Händel first editions online

Post by Boccaccio »

Hi everybody!

Today I read in the newspaper about the Händelhaus in Halle providing digitalizations of some first editions of works by Händel, in particular oratorios and operas. They can be found here: http://www.haendelhaus.de/de/bibliothek ... n_Buecher/. Though they do not offer to download pdf versions, it should be rather easy to download these files using a download manager like curl under Linux or Cygwin:

Code: Select all

curl http://www.museum-digital.de/san/images/haendelhaus/ix_129/ix_129_[001-284].jpg -o 'Saul_#1.jpg'
should readily download the whole edition of Saul onto your computer so you just have to convert it to a pdf. Unfortunately, I'm rather busy myself at the moment so I don't have time to do this myself, but maybe somebody else is interested.

Like the Serval in the video: Om, nom, num, num!
