Fragmenta Iguvina: uno studio preliminare dei frammenti manoscritti della Biblioteca Sperelliana di Gubbio

Abstract

This article aims to present the preliminary results of the project Fragmenta Iguvina, including a catalogue of the manuscript fragments hitherto disseminated through the online database Fragmentarium. First, a history of the Biblioteca Comunale Sperelliana (in Gubbio) and its archive is offered. Then the paper gives an overview of the research on the manuscript fragments which have been discovered in situ within the bindings of the early-printed volumes at the Sperelliana. The reason for the reuse of some fragments is assessed as well as the potential for further discoveries. This discussion is followed by a catalogue of the fragments that relies and expands on the descriptions published through Fragmentarium.
