Thank you all for your help with this!<br>
<br>
First with the book itself back in October. There was a tricky
signature gathering that Richard Noble helped me resolve.<br>
<br>
Then more recently when I asked about identifying and recording the
manuscript fragment in which it was bound. <br>
Richard Noble helped again by identifying it as a fragment from the
Book of Judith, Jackie Dooley pointed me to the correct binding term
for the 655, and best of all Lenore Rouse suggested I contact a
manuscripts expert, Scott Gwara, at the University of South
Carolina.<br>
<br>
Using photographs of the manuscript fragment he confirmed that it is
from the Book of Judith, and that it may possibly date from the 12th
century!<br>
<br>
I have cataloged both the book (# 14318931 ) and the fragment (#
869471915 ) in OCLC, and since this is the first thing this type I
have handled I would welcome any constructive criticism.<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am cataloging a late 16th century book (Wittich. <i>Bericht von
den wunderbaren bezoardischen Steinen</i>, 1589) which has an as
yet unidentified manuscript fragment in the binding. <br>
<br>
Should I make a note of this in the catalog record?<br>
How much effort, if any, should I make to identify the fragment?<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
