The elementary textbook of Aristotelian logic, Porphyry's Isagoge, translated into Latin in late-antiquity by Boethius. Everyone needs to have at least his own fragment! (Universität Rostock, Fragm. philol. 36) #fragmentology

I knew there were scrapbooks of manuscript initials, but am just learning about the equivalent practice with early printed books, like this example from Oberlin's Special Collections #fragmentology
I love when two of my favorite things are in the same auction: a Flemish old master painting and manuscript #fragmentology .
On the verso of this van cleeve workshop(?) panel you can see a fragment a humanist script poking through.

The pastedowns in this incunable (Heidelberg UB, Q 9190 qt. INC::[1]) were taken from various MSS. Most notable is the early copy of the Vita of Saint Pachomius, whose feast is celebrated today! #fragmentology

#fragmentfriday treat from Oxford.
Could anyone offer a clue for this sheet? Looks like a commentary on Rev 2:8 but it’s not giving in. Please give it a go. #fragmentology people?
Been a bit since I’ve shown some #fragmentology here is some printed binding waste in which the cover boards are made of built-up recycled pages- enjoy!
Today under the hammer: a 1544 Basel edition with a leaf from a commentary MS used as its cover. Suggestions on the content? #fragmentology
Unusual binders waste! Two pages of a vellum Parisian Book of Hours (~1525 Hardouyn(?)) were used for this French booklet (1618) about inheritance law.
Look at the handpainted initials! 😍
