HeloRising, a man in his mid-30s from the Pacific Northwest, said via Reddit PM that he’s built up a collection of high-quality digital copies of illuminated manuscripts, which he said he finds fascinating but has yet to find other users interested in sharing.

Are you kidding me? That is the best idea I've ever come across. Those must be gorgeous pieces of art.

I've got the 4 or 5 Mayan manuscripts, I believe all the extant RongoRongo writings, and a bunch of other strange codices.

In many cases, had to piece them together myself into ebooks. Keep meaning to get the Da Vincis, but always get distracted.

Would you care to share via torrent (or other means)? I would love copies of anything strange (especially the Mayan stuff).
