A fragment in two parts, (c. 94 x 70/55 mm and 29 x 13 mm), recovered from the hinges of a 15th century religious book in 1989. Manuscript on parchment, possibly from the gloss of a manuscript, written in brown ink over twenty-one lines, rubrics in red, one four-line initial on blue grounds with red decoration and white flourishes, red pen flourishing. The smaller fragment contains a three-line initial in blue with red pen flourishing. It appears to have belonged at the top of the larger fragment. The fragment contains text from 'Odofredi Ivris Vtrivsqve Peritissimi Dicaearchi, In Primam Codicis partem complectem I, II, III, IIII, & V lib. Praelectiones'. The large initial opens the line 'Segnori l;[icet] hodie.'
 
A very good example of a fragment liberated from a binding. Adhesive marks, trimmed and rubbed.
 
Fragments recovered from bindings are a fine example of how books have been used and later recycled over time. There were many reasons as to why this has happened, such as a book being damaged beyond repair or if the text has become outdated with later editions. Rather than throwing a medieval manuscript away, it would be taken to a book binder who would use the parchment to re-enforce the bindings of other books because parchment is such a durable and strong material. The damage is vital evidence of this manuscripts living history.
