Do you know anything about the Heidelberg fragment which contains parts of the Book of Acts and James?
So do you remove the fragments from the binding? I am a book collector, and I try to preserve the connection between a binding and the fragment, instead of splitting them up. Do you have a policy for that as a library?

As a library we receive these donations AS manuscript fragments already detached by their previous owners. If a book would come in with fragments used as wastepaper or endpapers we wouldn't detach them. All the ones from the video came in to us from various people who had owned them as fragments (some without any context or background)
