Abstract
Abstract: Fragments are collected in various forms of archives. This essay investigates a particularly vexing archive of fragments, the Cod. Sang. 1394, compiled at the beginning of the nineteenth century in the monastery of St. Gallen. Fragments in the collection represent a wide spectrum of chirographic production and include Latin, Hebrew, and German texts ranging from the fifth to the fifteenth century in date. By analyzing a selection of Latin and Hebrew case studies from this archive, the article aims to reevaluate the nature of refragmentation and the problems arising from selective cataloguing of fragments. It proposes an identification of previously neglected fragments and discusses the nature of Cod. Sang. 1394 as a codex on its own. Finally, it problematizes how fragments exist today in the state of disjoined digital existence, and what consequences does this bring for our research.
