1. Fragmentarium. Phase II
2019 has been a successful year: together with e-codices, we were able to secure CHF 1,770,055 in external funding. The Swiss National Science Foundation approved CHF 1,331,905 to continue Fragmentarium through 2022. Fragmentarium Phase II aims to establish the discipline of Fragmentology by sponsoring, coordinating, and collaborating with numerous international research projects, developing the guidelines and materials necessary for scientific research, and transforming the Fragmentarium platform into an open research laboratory.

2. The e-codices Forger fools the art market
The first issue of “Fragmentology” includes an article on a new type of forgery that uses internet resources to fake illuminated manuscript leaves sold on the market for tens of thousands of Euros; see: William Duba and Christoph Flüeler, Fragments and Fakes: The Arbor consanguinitatis of the Fondation Martin Bodmer and a Contemporary Forgery, (121-153). The authors expose two forgeries by the same forger, who used manuscripts from e-codices as models. So far, four forgeries have been discovered, all of which were created using the same method and using models from e-codices.
This fake recently came on the market and is undoubtably a cheap copy of the Bodmer Arbor, see: Cologny, Fondation Martin Bodmer, Cod. Bodmer 28, f. 1r – Latin Bible (also available on e-codices)
