On 6 February we reflect on the achievements of the Comites latentes project to catalogue manuscript fragments across Flanders, with Mike Kestemont and William Duba, in FelixArchief (Antwerp). Register for this event by 29 January https://t.co/6UpUwiqNOI #fragmentology

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.

This is how you perfect your 16th-c. calligraphic cursive: kep writing the same line. https://t.co/EAHs3ANm7s

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. https://t.co/h7pzstgpkR #fragmentology

Me neither, little monkey. Me neither. But we have to.

An autograph of Jean Lebèque which seems to have escaped scholars of the early French humanists, https://t.co/So1JNIa8Mw #fragmentology

@PieterBeullens @RemcoSleiderink Ja, het lijkt er erg op, maar ook zou ook zeggen dat het een andere hand is.

[MMFC: Medieval Manuscripts in Flemish Collections @MMFCbe]

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 https://t.co/YHO7x5XYti and https://t.co/Ad5edrfMTJ #fragmentology

@PieterBeullens @RemcoSleiderink Wel, dat moet je eens aan Guido De Baere vragen. Het is zeker een zelfde type handschrift, en min of meer uit dezelfde periode.

[Jan Pauwels @JanPauwelsKBR]

The pleasures of man: eating, drinking and playing games (baseball ?)

Ms. 9543 @kbrbe, ‘Li ars d'amour, de vertu et de boneurté’, Flanders, late 13th century, 67 miniatures, presence in the Royal Library attested since 1597

Now digitised: https://t.co/mbfE6vcvpR

[KBR @kbrbe]

Voor haar 40ste verjaardag ging het Belgisch-Nederlands Boekbandengenootschap op zoek naar de oudste boekband uit onze regio. De winnaar? Deze unieke 10de-eeuwse boekband (Ms. 8380-9012) van eikenhouten platten die wordt gekoesterd in de collectie van KBR.

[Jan Pauwels @JanPauwelsKBR]

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

Rijksarchief Gent, Archief Hospitaal Aalst, no. 12.

[MMFC: Medieval Manuscripts in Flemish Collections @MMFCbe]

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).

@DirkSchoenaers 'GCF manuscript'

[MMFC: Medieval Manuscripts in Flemish Collections @MMFCbe]

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)

[MMFC: Medieval Manuscripts in Flemish Collections @MMFCbe]

@DirkSchoenaers Indeed. His owner's mark is in the GCG manuscript.
