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

@ryanfb

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.....
