Description

Aimed at students, educators, librarians, and collectors, this volume explores the discipline of “Fragmentology”—the study of medieval manuscript fragments ranging from the smallest initials to substantial segments. Like the medieval books they come from, fragments are unique cultural artifacts offering opportunities for innovative teaching and research. The introduction conveys the history of manuscript fragmentation and the reasons for the dispersal of early books: obsolescence, scholarship, and commerce. Individual chapters focus on textual identification, forensic description, elementary palaeographical, codicological, and stemmatic analyses. A subsequent discussion of provenance highlights the transmission of fragments. Digital tools are presented as complementary means of tracing single leaves back to their parent volumes. Through detailed case studies, the authors emphasize the medieval genres most likely to be encountered (Bibles, books of hours, liturgical books, etc.). For more advanced readers, stand-alone sections apply the methodologies to interpret more complex fragments (vernacular, Byzantine). A concise Bibliography presents the most important works on Fragmentology.
