Joan of Arc, Manuscripts

List of scanned documents from the original manuscripts

This is a list of those documents which are currently online; more will follow as time and available webspace permit. So far I've uploaded several letters, selected pages from the transcripts of both trials, and assorted other documents.
I have copies of the entire transcript (240 pages) from the first trial (a reproduction of Manuscript 1119 from the Library of the National Assembly in Paris; this is believed to have been Bishop Pierre Cauchon's copy [1]). The scanned pages are listed by the folio number. If you wish to see a specific portion of the trial record which is not currently online, or encounter any broken links or other errors on the site, write to me.
