The following is the index volume for volumes 1-20, so perhaps of particular interest:

For those of you wishing to get works on the history of the Iberian Peninsula, this is a great resource:
http://libro.uca.edu/
Some of those texts I have studied with interest, is:
The Visigothic Law code:
http://libro.uca.edu/vcode/visigoths.htm
The Usatges of Barcelona, from 1086 AD, the law code for Catalonia:

Scholarly treatises on Andalusian water technology can also be found here.

THe Roman Law Library is an excellent resource, the linguistically accessible parts being sub-forums 18&20

No. 18, Lingua Anglica, contains translated laws spanning 1600 years, from the Laws of the Kings from 8th century BC to (Byzantine) Emperor Leo around 900 AD

This contains the entire Corpus Juris Civilis by Justinian, in the unfortunate translation of Scott.

No.20 contains a huge amount of scholarly works, mainly from the 19th century.


For the Codex Justinianus, the collection of imperial edicts, there exists a much better online source, namely Justice Bluhme's translation:

In my second/next life, I'd like to find time to read some of these books.

I was really impressed with the university library at Salamanca where there was a special climate controlled room for books from at least the 15th century, and maybe earlier.

I know. Having just one life is unfair..
Sounds better than Ali Baba's cave of treasures to me!
