Note that many libraries all around Europe and the globe have made their manuscripts available online. Since not every library can be listed below, it is a good strategy to try to explore the digital resources of the library that holds the manuscript of interest to you. For example, the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (Laurentian library in Florence) and its manuscripts can be accessed online.
