Fragmenty rękopisów średniowiecznych – stan badań i perspektywy badawcze. Średniowieczne fragmenty zachowane w Archiwum Państwowym w Szczecinie
Fragments of medieval manuscripts – the current research state and new prospects. The medieval fragments from the State Archives in Szczecin

Summary/Abstract: In recent years, medieval “wastepaper baskets” of manuscripts have become the subject of intense research in various scientific centres around the world. Despite the enormous work done by researchers, it still remains unexplored in many places. The article presents initiatives taken to work out and digitize medieval manuscript fragments. The text also contains preliminary establishments from queries carried out in the State Archives in Szczecin, the National Library and the Archives of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, during which more than a thousand medieval manuscript fragments were found being reused as bindings of archival units. The preserved fragments make it possible to partially reconstruct entire codices and shed new light on the almost completely unknown medieval official book collections in Western Pomerania.
