Today’s #FragmentFriday is this printed book (published in Rouen around 1508) bound with fragments from 2 leaves of a 13th-century copy of the early encyclopedia De proprietatibus rerum, probably written in France. It's not unusual to see fragments in binding, but it is interesting to see the leaves folded instead of being trimmed. (UPenn LJS 395)

A wonderful mosaic of chocolate! Posted @withregram • @myic2016 Fragment Friday (since I missed my “Mosaic Monday” opportunity 🤷🏻‍♀️) . Some mould designs are so distinctive, just one look & you know exactly the maker. I likened this to celebrities that only need to go by a single name 😉How many of these moulds do YOU recognize? I’ll admit that a couple are vintage & have been replaced by newer ones 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, two have a name or partial name emblazoned on them 🤣 . Do the 3D shapes impact your perception of taste? Some say yes! I certainly enjoy how the ridges & indentations interact with my tongue during a tasting 👅😲 . I hope you’ve enjoyed the Tangential Tasting Twin Tuesday #tttt_uniquemoulds theme - for me, it’s been so fun to see “old friends” and discover new ones 👏🏻 Have we missed any of your favorites?! 🤔 . #tttt_2021 #chocolatetasting #ilovechocolate #somanychocolates #craftchocolate #fragmentfriday #tttt_chocolate #chocolatesamples https://www.instagram.com/p/CUN8d-yDwQ_/?utm_medium=tumblr

For today's #FragmentFriday, a large historiated initial, possibly Spanish, cut from an antiphonary page. The initial shows Mary holding Jesus and giving a rosary to a saint, presumably Saint Dominic. The other side is a fragment of musical notation. The parent manuscript must have been quite large, used by a community rather than an individual. (Manuscript Fragment Collection, Ms. Coll. 591, Folder 15)

For today's #FragmentFriday, a leaf from a glossed Gospel of John, containing the text of John 7.25-39, written in northern France, probably Paris, in the 1200s. The Bible text is written in a formal Gothic script in the center column, with the gloss in a smaller script around it. There are also interlinear glosses between the lines of the Bible.

Today's #FragmentFriday is Ms. Coll. 591 Folder 10, a leaf from a 15th c. French breviary containing text from the Officium Beatae Mariae Virginis. Written in a Gothic hand, the text is laid out in 14 long lines with ruling visible. The left border on each side is decorated with floral traceries in blue and gold and the text is decorated with three 2-line initials of pink and blue on a background of gold. The dark line along the edge shows where the leaf was once glued onto a backing, only on one edge so the leaf could be viewed on both sides.
