Started poking around. Here's one chunk of one of the pages at one of the higher resolutions: http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Proxy.ashx?view=arundel_ms_263_f001v_files/14/0_8.jpg http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Proxy.ashx?view=arundel_ms_263_... Looks like the format is: http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Proxy.ashx?view=arundel_ms_263_<page_number>_files/<resolution_level>/<column>_<row>.jpg Pages work in this fashion: f001r, f001v, f002r, f002v, f003r, f003v, ... and ends at f283v. At resolution 14, columns range from 0 to 33 and rows range from 0 to 24. Edit: I hacked together a python script to download all images at resolution 14 https://gist.github.com/L1fescape/4761013 https://gist.github.com/L1fescape/4761013 Now to figure out how to combine them all...

Now to figure out how to combine them all... ImageMagick's montage command will probably do it: http://konrad.strack.pl/blog/image-concatenation-with-imagemagick http://konrad.strack.pl/blog/image-concatenation-with-imagem... Also tiffcp and then tiff2pdf are how I've made pdfs of such image collections in the past.

Circumventing a technical rights protection measure? Not legal under > European Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the council of May 22, 2001 and probably the DMCA.

  It's not a technical rights protection measure, it's a standard bandwidth minimization measure used by sites like Gigapan and all slippy maps.
