Shedding light on fragments from bookbindings: the case of Ph.2.264 Music manuscript waste revealed in an early printed book are fragments of a tract sung in Medieval liturgy during Lent.

Our latest MU Library Treasures blog post by Inês Nunes Trindade, PhD Music Department, is a fascinating analysis of parchment music manuscript fragments in the binding of a 16th-century printed philosophy book! https://ow.ly/uTey50YorzR
