This came to my attention from another list, but since it features a number of illustrated books and illuminated manuscripts of interest to art historians I thought I'd mention it on our list.
The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek now presents 20 splendid manuscripts from its voluminous Oriental collection in the form of an application for iPads and iPhones. The "Oriental books" are available free of charge in the Apple App Store.
The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek also presents the application "Famous books - Treasures of the Bavarian State Library" for iPads and iPhones, which features 52 highlights of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek's collections.
