A request

[mikekn]

Does anyone out there have access to the Early English Books Online (EEBO) service? Usually though a university library. I've got a book or two I'd like to look at or get a copy of.

I'm not sure what is needed to find something in the EEBO, but the title is:

"The chirche of the euyll men and women : wherof Lulyfer is the heed, and the membres is all the players dyssolute and synners reproued"

Translated from French by Henry Watson, printed 1511

The link I found (but can't use) is: http://wwwlib.umi.com/eebo/image/4775

Ooo, spiffy. I don't have EEBO (online), but jducoeur used to go over to the Brandeis library where they had EEB on microfilm. I expect he'll see this post and comment on whether he printed out that particular item.

The University of Delaware has the EEBO. UPenn (Phila) has this book in microform, and so does Rutgers. Of course Harvard and Yale do too -- Yale even claims to have a paper copy.

Yes, I spent lots of lovely time at Penn's library with the microfilms.

Hm, really need to make another trip soon. Despite what the website says, you can go on the weekend, you just have to make the arrangement for that ahead of time rather than just show up.

Quick note on this old discussion, I found a place that has the EEBO unprotected, so I've been able to grab all the docs I was looking for.

The first page is at: http://eebo.cica.es/datos1/ with /datos2/ etc following.

It is a bit of a trick to use since there is no interface available. I go through Univ of Del to find the document number, and then I search a list of the documents (which I compiled by hand - ugh) to figure out where directory it is in.
