Summary/Abstract: The studies on medieval manuscript fragments in situ (“fragmentology”) in Poland have concentrated so far mostly on library collection. The present article shows the results of a wider search in old Polish municipal records from the State Archive in Poznań, which found over 60 municipal registers containing various fragments of older manuscripts and prints. The most interesting discovery were two flyleaves folios with a script from the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries, containing fragments of the Pastoral Rule of Gregory the Great found in a 16th century book of town bench records.
