I just saw this news but have not yet been able to browse their catalogue to see if anything might be of interest. The University of Leipzig will digitize 100 of its medieval manuscripts based on researchers' requests.
If there are any manuscripts that could be useful for VM research, we might discuss and group them here and see how we could go about requesting them?

Quote:Thanks to renewed funding by the Digitization Program of Saxony the Leipzig University Library (UL) will continue in 2019 to systematically digitize its medieval manuscript holdings. Since a first Call for Digitization Requests in 2018 generated a high number of responses, the UBL invites researchers once more to suggest manuscripts for digitization. In 2019, the UL will increase the amount of digitization work devoted to academic needs, reserving up to a 100 manuscripts for requests by researchers. Should you therefore wish for a manuscript in the Library’s collection to be digitized free of charge, please send a brief statement of your proposal along with a description of your research project to handschriftenzentrum@ub.uni-leipzig.de no later than March 15, 2019. You can check at our digital collections whether the manuscript in which you are interested has already been digitized. The first 100 requests to be received will be selected for digitization, providing that they meet the usual conservation criteria. Once completed, the digitizations will be provided by way of the presentation page of the UL via the Mirador Viewer as well as through the portal Sachsen.Digital. In keeping with the UL’s Open Access-Policy, the digitizations will be made available in the public domain without restrictions regarding their use. We will let you know by April 30, 2019 whether your digitization request can be met. The UL Leipzig thanks you for your interest in our manuscript collection.
