Over the last decades, manuscript fragments have received increased scholarly attention and international collaboration. Much of this work has concentrated on reconstructing now fragmented codices, highlighting rare survivals, or cataloguing.
While such efforts are crucially important, there is great research potential in the capacity of collections of fragments to expand our vision of medieval history more broadly. This session welcomes papers exploring how large or small fragment corpora (manuscript or incunabula) – and the meta-data about their provenance and early-modern recycling history – can be used as historical sources informing medieval book culture and other historical phenomena more broadly.
We welcome papers using digital, big data/quantitative, as well as more traditional methodologies. We also encourage the exploration of methodological questions, such as:
How to approach fragments as corpora?
What can such corpora be thought to be representative of?
How have they been shaped by the recycling processes that ensured their survival?
What is the role of studying these processes in the wider context of fragment studies?
The session is organised by the ERC-funded Books of the Medieval Parish Church project. Feel free to contact us with any questions at jaakko.tahkokallio@helsinki.fi or emilia.henderson@helsinki.fi.
Paper proposals need to be submitted to the ICMS Confex portal (see https://icms.confex.com/icms/2024/cfp.cgi) by 15 September 2023. Hope to see you in Kalamazoo!

E' uscito il Bando del VII Ciclo di Studi sul Medioevo Latino 2021, in programma per i giorni 7 - 8 giugno 2021.
La sede sarà a Firenze, presso l’ex Convento Il Fuligno (in via Faenza 48n).
Il Convegno si prefigge lo scopo di offrire un’ampia panoramica internazionale e nazionale degli studi medievistici: l’argomento è pertanto libero, purché pertinente al periodo compreso tra V e XV secolo.
Il Gruppo di ricerca si propone principalmente lo scopo di offrire un’occasione ai giovani ricercatori (non strutturati impegnati in Italia e all'estero nella ricerca) per presentare i loro lavori, consentendo il dibattito e, attraverso la pubblicazione, la massima circolazione delle ricerche; particolare, ma non esclusivo, interesse quest'anno sarà rivolto alla presentazione di:
– progetti digitali/multimediali;
– progetti di cooperazione, sviluppo e coesione sociale volti all’approfondimento e alla diffusione degli studi medievistici (associazioni, laboratori, centri studi ecc.);
– proposte relative alla comunicazione, alla didattica e all’insegnamento.
La deadline per l’invio delle proposte di partecipazione, nel formato di abstract della lunghezza massima di 300 parole, redatto su un unico file pdf sia in italiano che inglese (solo in inglese per tutti i relatori non italiani), è il 4 Ottobre 2020.
Il documento dovrà presentare l’indicazione di 5 parole chiave (keywords), che identifichino l’argomento trattato ed il file dovrà essere accompagnato da un breve CV, di non oltre 1000 parole, per la valutazione della commissione. Nel caso di panel strutturati, costituiti da più interventi di diversi relatori, la proposta deve comprendere un titolo, con una presentazione generale che non superi le 300 parole, seguita dagli abstract di tutti gli interventi.
L’invio dovrà pervenire all’indirizzo di posta elettronica ratione@tin.it, ovvero all'indirizzo ratione69@gmail.com.
