[DCRM-L] Cataloging a Manuscript Fragment That's Been Reunited with Its Original Codex

[Nicholas A. Sparks]

I am not a library cataloguer: advice would be catalogue separately with
cross-references, so respect the identification and provenance of what
stands before you. Also, you might wish to let the good folk know at
Fragmentarium - they love reunification of membra disiecta, physically or
digitally, or in your case, both!
