“Santa Baby, slip a fragment under the tree for me” This Christmas, a dear friend who knows me too well (apparently) gave me Ege HL 81 with chants for CHRISTMAS! Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree adds a spare, elegant touch. #fragmentology

Please consider! As a collector, I post my print and MS fragments #OA on archive.org to make them discoverable; I also make a monthly donation that becomes substantial over the year. Collectors-please make your materials discoverable and support this valuable service!

As with every December since 2018, you can't finish the month without the latest issue of Fragmentology. Volume V (2022) is now available! #Fragmentology #FragmentFriday fragmentology.ms/issue/view/5-2…

Don't ask this, people. There are 1000s of MS leaves already on the market; let's not create more. Also, please consider when the leaf you want to buy was sourced. More here: rarebookschool.org/rbs-online/a-f…

MS Leuven UB G.30 was the only witness of Godfrey of Fontaines' Quodlibet XV. It was destroyed in 1940, but microfilms survived. The folios from our own incomplete microfilm are online. Which institution holds a full microfilm to bring the MS back home? repository.teneo.libis.be/delivery/Deliv…
