Author: 
Ross Woodrow, University of Newcastle
Excerpt: 

Each of the original 33 leaves or folios (66 pages) are reproduced here in digital form for educational use only.
If your screen is set at 800 by 600 pixel resolution the large versions of the pages will appear close to the size of the originals which are approximately 240mm x160mm.
The pages follow the orientation and order in which they were bound together and here the usual convention is followed with each leaf or folio being numbered and the front recto and back verso identified with "r" and "v" respectively.

Annotation: 

This is a University of Newcastle archive of Villard de Honnecourt's portfolio. Pages from Villard's notebook are available as separate digital photographs, though a web page with compressed versions of every image allows users to scan for a specific drawing. A "search by page number" feature has also been included. A history of Villard, a bibliography, and links to several websites can be found via a link at the bottom of the main web page.
