chd.dk is offline

EDIT 16 June 2015: Someone has apparently paid to extend the registration for another 12 months, and the site is active again.

-------------------------------

Erik Drigsdahl's registration of his domain, chd.dk, has expired.

The details on the Danish whois site read:

I downloaded a copy of the site recently using wget, and copies are archived at Archive.org's Wayback Machine. This should suffice for the time being.

I will be visiting Copenhagen in July to meet with Erik's Executor, and anticipate being able to obtain his original files, and make the entire site available again, although perhaps not at the chd.dk address.

There can hardly be a student of illuminated manuscripts that does not know, and has not benefited from, the website of Erik Drigsdahl at www.chd.dk. His online tools and guides for identifying the liturgical Use of Books of Hours has perhaps contributed more to the accurate localisation of manuscripts, and thus their earliest provenance, than any other resource.

I'm too busy to do proper blog-posts at the moment, but here's a recent find, relating to the previous posts here, here, and here.
