AEME is rolling out a new web site. Look for it to go live soon.
Currently, we are transcribing the Life of Christ from Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud Misc. 108. Here is a sample of our transcription from the first ten lines:

This might be rendered in a diplomatic display as:
A nd spatte a luyte on is finger and ínto is erene ít schok.
h e watte al so with ís spotle is tonge opene þíne mouth he seide

I nelle nouȝt fastínde late hím go þat heo beon ouer come
