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.

I'm very excited to share the cover of my forthcoming collection of fourteen essays on Cluniac monasticism, which Cornell UP will publish in January 2026. The cover image is from fol. 1v of Angers BM 820, an eleventh-century compilation of texts related to the cult of Abbot Maiolus of Cluny.
