[DCRM-L] Manuscript fragments in the binding

[Noble, Richard]

You certainly want to record it, and posting to a list that includes
manuscript experts (*not* including me) is a good way to go. Anyway, it
appears from first Google checking to be a portion of the book of Judith.
The sentence beginning "Cui Holofernes ait" is ch. 12, verse 3. I leave it
to others to identify the script and likely origin.
