facsimiles of iliad manuscripts?
Would anyone happen to know how I might be able to get a facsimile (or even a modern-font edition, e.g., Villoison) of the Venetus or Laurentianus manuscripts of the Iliad? Book form would be ideal, but digital would work. I already know about the website with digital images of Venetus A (at http://www.stoa.org), but the images are nearly impossible to read, and even if they were legible it would take major effort to print out.

Is this what you might be looking for?
The encoded texts are available at a few websites and can be easily searchable. But what gnomonstyle wants is a scanned or phtographed "manuscript". And it is a rare resource online. What a pity when some religious materials are available en masse.

Actually, I'd even be fine with an encoded version (but only Venetus A , B, etc.; not one of the modern editions online).
We'll see how far I get with this, but I did request a copy of Comparetti's 1901 facsimile of Venetus A via interlibrary loan. If by chance I get a hold of it, I may be inspired to do some scanning myself.
