Stock Photo - 01 October 2021, Saxony, Leipzig: View of the Leipzig City Archive. A manuscript from the 9th century has now been found in the archive holdings. The manuscript formed the dust jacket of a municipal mortuary book from around 1640. The fragment was examined by scientists. It belongs to a manuscript that was written in the second quarter of the ninth century in the imperial abbey of Fulda. It has now been discovered that other fragments of the same manuscript have been preserved in the university library, where they were donated in 1927. Thanks to the fragment found, the experts now know when the manuscript came from Fulda to Leipzig, that it was used there as binding material and that it contains the commentary on the genesis of the important cleric Hrabanus Maurus. The latter was abbot of the monastery when the manuscript was written in Fulda. Photo: Hendrik Schmidt/dpa-Zentralbild/dpa. - Leipzig/Saxony/Germany
