Receiving over 100,000 visitors each year, Ripon Cathedral celebrated its 1350th anniversary in 2022. Housed at the Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds, the Ripon Cathedral Library Collection includes little-studied medieval and early modern manuscripts and printed books. Even less studied, and some as yet unknown, are the fragments found within bindings.

The starting point of this research was the Digital Explorations: Opening the Medieval Manuscript Fragments from the Ripon Cathedral Library project that ran between February and July 2022, supported by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Research England under the Enhancing Research Culture funding stream.

More information to be shared in the coming months.
