Signing off now. We published 2,100 fragments on Fragmentarium over the last few years, which was good going. And recently we pushed Fragmentarium over the 7,000 fragments.

Good day. A new collection just published on Fragmentarium: Municipal Archives Turnhout. The harvest includes an unknown fragment of the so-called Middle Dutch Bible translation of 1360. fragmentarium.ms/searchresul… #fragmentology

Two recent publications shine the light on manuscript fragments that were identified by our project: a Middle High German pericope book and a new fragment of Jan van Ruusbroec's Blinkenden Steen maniculae.de/index.php/manic… and doi.org/10.2143/OGE.93.3.329… #fragmentology

A capital P it is!
Ms. 21852 @kbrbe, fifth part of the 'Moralia in Job' by Saint Gregory the Great, 13th century, from Park Abbey in Louvain, with the coat of arms scraped away on the binding and on f. 132 a curse for potential thieves

Interesting book commissioned by Lowys Porquin, a merchant from Antwerp. It was published in Antwerp in 1563 and includes a bio of his family and advice for his 11 children. Royal Library Brussels. Photos shared by @JanPauwelsKBR

An unexpected find: an indulgence for the hospice of Aalst (1504) to which illumination was added, including a Veronica and the heraldry of pope Julius II (Giuliano della Rovere).

Interesting palaeographical transitions in this 15th-c. manuscript of the Grandes Chroniques de France: it starts in textualis, then goes to a smaller modulus of textualis, and then in the middle of the page to cursive (BnF, fr. 10136)

This cannot be reiterated enough! Digitization is NOT preservation.

Never trust that anything that’s digitised or available online will be available forever. Digitisation is not preservation, and tech companies aren’t archivists or librarians. The presence of hard copy in a physical collection is the only guarantee of long-term survival
