About the event
This talk will introduce rare fragments in French and Anglo-Norman that have recently been identified in the bindings of printed books in the Bodleian Library. It will consider the process of finding and identifying fragments and highlight some of the wider questions they raise.
This talk will also provide an opportunity to take a closer look at books in two of the Bodleian’s named collections that survive in early binding structures with waste fragments in situ.
