Another incredible treasure from Grinnell, this time in the art collection, is this set of cuttings of the miniatures from what must have been a gorgeous book of hours! 🌟

Eigenlijk is het zonde om zo'n boek te herstellen, want dan zie je die oude perkamenten stroken met tekst niet meer.
Herstel is niet zo moeilijk omdat alleen de spitsels kapot zijn gegaan. Het boekblok is zo goed als nieuw.

Sermon by Bede, probably from a lost homiliary, in an elegant hand. This leaf survived as a book cover (@stabiberlin.bsky.social, Ee 710-234)

I had the best time examining some liturgical fragments in Kansalliskirjasto on Wednesday, ahead of the colloquium ‘Books, Music and the Liturgical Life of the Medieval Church’. After a fascinating day of papers yesterday, I’m excited to give my own today.

Petrus Pictor, popular poet from St Omer on the border of 12th-c Flanders and France, wrote rhyming Latin hexameters (Copenhagen, KB, Fragm. 2849 & 1721 - also 1717-20)

One book, two very different pastedowns. Leaf from a MS of the Breviarium in psalmos (Ps 107), attributed to Augustine or Jerome or Anonymous (Migne 26). And an attractive leaf from a later prayer book (Trier, Stadtbibliothek, G 1057)

Music to my Eyes

I'd never seen this anonymous woodcut in a 1491 book at #NewberryLibrary (Inc. 571) or the music it is part of anywhere previously... has anyone else? Beautiful addition in any case!

Today’s #FragmentFriday is from the binding of LJS 470, which is a 16th century Italian collection, written in Hebrew, of medical and magical texts. The fragments are deep in the spine, and haven’t been cataloged or identified. Can you tell what this is? #medievalsky

Just found out about this amazing example of #manuscript #recycling . The whole manuscript is made up from the margins of an earlier liturgical manuscript, cut out and rearranged (hence the unusual format), the (mostly) blank margins then used to copy various magical texts in the mid 16th century.
A magical text written in the 16th century on the previously blank margin of an earlier liturgical manuscript. Part of the original liturgical text can be seen at the bottom of the leaf. The leaf would originally have been part of the outer margin of a large leaf but has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

spooky skeleton chant fragment #fragmentfriday fragmentarium.ms/view/page/F-...
A leaf from a gradual (McGill MS Medieval 0064) with chants from the mass for the dead. The initial R frames a rather ghoulish skeletal figure, looking to the right and grinning. Perhaps he is a big Requiem fan.

Not only MSS were used in early book bindings, incunabula leaves were recycled, too. Here is a short anthology! First, from the Corpus iuris civilis printed in Rom, 1476 (GW 7678). Only 15 copies are known! (@stabiberlin.bsky.social, Dq 8880)
