Manuscript Fragments with Lisa Fagin Davis

Manuscript fragments, the lone survivors of medieval books which have been dismembered or destroyed, can be found in collections all over the world, and it takes some serious detective work to bring them back together. This week, Danièle speaks with Lisa Fagin Davis about how fragments are tracked down and reassembled, and what we can learn from these forgotten treasures of the Middle Ages.

Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis is the Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America and is an Adjunct Faculty at the School of Library and Information Science of Simmons University. You can learn more about her work on Manuscript Road Trip, or follow Lisa on Twitter @lisafdavis
