The Plan of Saint Gall in black and white. I couldn't find one that I thought was good for students to write on, so I made this. I took some liberties with the size of some spaces (to allow for text) and few descriptions, but overall I'm happy with the result.
A plan for the layout of a monastic community that was never built. The document is a copy of the famous Plan of Saint Gall. It shows what buildings would be in a monastic community and the layout of the community.

Desperately driving in circles on country roads finding one that wasn’t closed to get to the station and just making it to my train because it was delayed by 2 min is a GREAT way to start the week.

Yale Library’s digitized Takamiya Collection helps solve mystery of medieval fragments
Scholars were able to "reunite" six lost leaves found in an archive in England with an important 15th-century manuscript in the library’s collection.

After the success of the 2026 sessions, and because fragments never rest, please have a look at our #medievalfragments session for #IMC2027! We are open to any type of fragments, from anywhere.. get in touch!
After two years of bringing Fragmentology to the IMC, we would like to invite expressions of interest for 2027. Fragments, ever present across a great number of materials, are unique and tantalising windows to the past. Surviving as insertions in later textiles, in later buildings or as parts of bindings in manuscripts, fragments offer us layers of meaning: what were they, originally? What was their original purpose? And their later purpose? How have they survived? 
We understand fragments as physical pieces of any material, from anywhere during the Global Middle Ages. Some suggested topics are:
Manuscript fragmentology: collections of or individual fragments; selling and acquiring fragments; palaeographical and codicological analysis of fragments.
Any medieval fragments: Including but not limited to archaeological, architectural, textile, manuscript, incunabula and textual fragments.
Meaning, lives and usage: reconstructing the original object; the meaning of the original and of the fragment; original and later life and use of the fragment; collectors and collecting. 
Methodology: Methods and techniques to work with fragments, manuscript or otherwise, including digital methods and digital projects.
Please send us a short abstract (c. 300 words) and CV to Dr Manuel Muñoz García (manuel.munoz-garcia@durham.ac.uk) no later than September 4. 
We look forward to hearing from you!
