Fragments of medieval Hebrew text on parchment, used to reinforce spine on Botero, Relationi Universali. Venice, Perin, 1595. Any help? (I know they're very small). Thanks! #paleography #medieval #medieval_hebrew #fragmentology #medieval_manuscripts #medieval_paleography

This one is beyond me. The ms on the spine actually is from "De excommunicacione et interdicto", a late 13 c. treatise by Bérenger Frédol (c. 1250-1323), w/ variants. I assume the larger fragment used for the covers also is, but I can't confirm that. #medieval_manuscripts #medieval #fragmentology

#Medieval_Paleography. Two different #manuscript_fragments cover this Quintilian (Lyon 1538). One wraps the book. A smaller fragment from Liber Sextus, L. 5, T. 2, C 18, covers the spine. I have given up on the wrapper. Seems to be legal, but not from Sextus - maybe a Corpus Juris commentary?
