The talk will show how advanced digitisation techniques allowed the virtual unfolding of the fragment, whose handling is particularly delicate, and increased the readability of the text.
It survived as the binding of a 16th century archival register of property at the manor of Huntingfield in Suffolk. The fragment was not removed from the document but preserved in situ as an original example of modern English archival binding in a project funded by @camdighum.bsky.social.
A fragment from a manuscript of the medieval French story of Merlin the magician was recently re-discovered at Cambridge University Library. Come and discover it with our imaging and library specialists!

This ephemeral 48-hour installation by SΓ©bastien HoΓ«ltzener and Nina RenduliΔ, co-ordinated by Prof Hugo AzΓ©rad, will appear and then disappear, without leaving a trace, where ordinary utterances commenting on the location itself and its various users dialogue with the architectural landscape.
The Raised Faculty Building is both a place of study on the upper floors and a place of passage on the ground floor, walked through by its users and punctuated by pillars that uphold the whole structure and allow free movement.
The presentation will include an all-age presentation of the bilingual edition of Riddles and Spells, by Richard Berengarten, a poet who lives in Cambridge. The text is accessible to the youngest readers, with delicious shifts of meaning and mischievous verbal mixes.
GeneviΓ¨ve GuΓ©temme will take a set of recent texts from French and English writers who inject in their writing β from the very start β a mix of languages, voices and pictures, continuously collaborating with film makers, musicians, actors and dancers.
How do poetry and the visual relate to each other? This event in the 2025 Cambridge Festival, co-ordinated by Prof Hugo AzΓ©rad, explores the intermediality that is central to contemporary creation.
Our Open Days are perfect opportunities to learn more about what it's like to study languages, to get a taste of Cambridge life and to ask questions.
The next MMLL Open Day at Cambridge is on Friday 21 March. See you there!
