Just found out about this amazing example of #manuscript #recycling . The whole manuscript is made up from the margins of an earlier liturgical manuscript, cut out and rearranged (hence the unusual format), the (mostly) blank margins then used to copy various magical texts in the mid 16th century.
A magical text written in the 16th century on the previously blank margin of an earlier liturgical manuscript. Part of the original liturgical text can be seen at the bottom of the leaf. The leaf would originally have been part of the outer margin of a large leaf but has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Once carrying chant, now carrying contents: this liturgical #manuscript fragment is recycled as the cover of a small storage case. Just one of the many examples of the afterlives of medieval manuscripts! #rarebooks #bookhistory 💙📚📜
