Apologises if this has been posted before. While hunting headless men I found this beautiful resource. Large scans, page by page of this illustrated and hand-scribed book.

It seems to be the full book, I haven't gone through all the pages yet though. And there's a mention of a PDF download - but it's all German to me. :)

Well the book is actually in Latin, at least the pages I looked at.

Thanks for the links, I meant the website (and the PDF download instructions) were in German. :)

You get them in English when you click on the Union Jack (or follow the link I gave you). Andreas
