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'
