Medievalists - has anyone tried a campaign to get people who own illuminations sliced out of books to turn them over, photograph the text and image, and post them with any other known info?
Seems like a lot of fragments of text might be preserved / recovered that way. Museums too.

@taoish I think most efforts I’ve seen like this have been centered around known book-breakers as the starting point for cataloguing and re-assembly, e.g. Otto Ege https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Ege

Right. Seems to me that there are a lot of framed illustrations, including in some public institutions, that may not have been catalogued as fragments.
Getting those all into fragmentarium could produce some results.....

@taoish @bookhistodons @histodons That seems like a perfect project for Fragmentarium: https://fragmentarium.ms/contact. The few clipping images I looked at seemed all to be one-sided. cc @LisaFaginDavis

This would be incredibly helpful for people like Allison Altstatt at the University of Northern Iowa who recognizes some of the books that these illuminations were cut out of
