Abstract
A case study on fragments in Greek manuscript collections was conducted at the Center for History and Palaeography of the National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation. The majority of the manuscripts for the study come from hard-to-reach monastic libraries and were microfilmed by the Center. The study focused on a selection of collections, including the library of the Monastery of Hozoviotissa (Amorgos Island, Cyclades), the Patriarchal library of Alexandria (Egypt), the library of the Monastery of Iviron (Mt. Athos), and a variety of collections from Cyprus. While research is ongoing, the current results show the potential contribution that fragments can make to the study of Medieval Greek manuscripts.
Highlights
The Center was founded in 1974 having as its prime objective to create and organize a microfilm record of handwritten codices and historical archives from Greece and the Greek-speaking world
The IPA has conducted over 250 scientific missions and research expeditions, over the course of which it has photographed or digitized approximately 9,000 manuscripts and 20 large historical archives.[1]
In addition to maintaining this collection, the IPA has published an index of Greek scribes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, hosts a specialized palaeography library, organizes seminars in palaeography, and is engaged in international programs and other pioneering activities, such as research on parchment DNA.[2]
