e-codices will be augmented by an international project that focuses on medieval fragments.
Fragments, like pieces in a puzzle, contain precious traces of a destroyed culture; bringing these pieces together and cataloging them online presents a great challenge for current manuscript research. Fragmentarium intends to make use of the internet as a central workplace to inventory, catalog and scientifically research medieval fragments. Generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the Swiss Science Foundation, in the next three years we will create a platform that - similar to a laboratory - allows libraries, scholars and students to upload, catalog, transcribe and assemble medieval manuscript fragments.
We have been able to form a community of important European and North American libraries, to start working on this joint project. Initial partners are the following twelve institutions:
- Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich
- Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Città del Vaticano
- Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, together with the équipement d’excellence BIBLISSIMA
- Bodleian Library, together with St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford
- Center for History and Palaeography – National Bank Cultural Foundation, Athens
- Harvard University Library, Cambridge MA, together with The Medieval Academy of America
- Martin Schøyen Collection – Oslo - Londres
- Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Vienna
- Stanford University Libraries
- The British Library, London
- Università degli Studi di Cassino e del Lazio meridionale
- Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig
