Interesting UI --- wants a full-screen mode and 2-up view and a way to remove all the chrome/UI....
An earlier example of this sort of thing was Bill Gates' purchase of the Codex Leceister https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Leicester which was then digitized and released on a CD-ROM by Corbis:
If you get an opportunity to see them in person, it’s worth it because the fine details are that much more impressive up close. Every photo I’ve seen is not as good. Also the illustration is tinier than you would think.
amazing! The categorization is nice, but I would love to see some sort of "tag cloud" that would allow use to view more specific content. How long until someone creates a tool to RAG the hell out of this? :)
I usually do what rarely doesn't work well for you, but it works decently for me. You get 1 page per image and the image isn't compressed or touched at all.

which was quite engaging, but sadly trapped in the technology of the time --- anyone know of an updated version of it?

How much talent can fit in a person? This is how much.
indeed! The biography of Leonardo was an amazing read. Highly recommend it

This is beautiful! I am having some difficulty with the UI; is there a torrent? Images like https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/500/000R-1.jpg are too low in resolution for good archival; you can't even read the writing.
Manipulate the URL for a higher resolution:
You don't need to depend on others to create a torrent, as bestowed upon you was the power of wget!Or in PowerShell on Windows:
Any idea on how to best compile it to an ebook? Just stuffing the jpgs into a pdf rarely works well...

wouldnt this mess up the order? I think you are supposed to view it like R1, V2, R2, V2, etc
Yes, this was just an example. Using wildcard expansion will give you whatever order the your current shell seems fit. Bash does alphabetical order.
Calibre comes with a ebook-convert command, that one might work
I haven't that done this in some time, but templating some markdown code for pandoc and creating an ebup might be a viable avenue.

Why are some of the pages upside down?
