We have a number of old, fragmentary manuscripts that were initially thought to have been from the Cairo Geniza, but as it turns out, were from bookbindings (and would probably be more accurately classed as part of the European Geniza). My question is thus to catalogers who deal with manuscripts: Is there a term used for non-Cairo Geniza fragments? We want to indicate that they are fragments that had been discarded in some way, but I don't know of an appropriate subject that we can use.
Any ideas would be most helpful. (I am not on the Judaica catalogers' list, but can someone forward this there as well?) Thanks! Michelle Michelle Chesner Norman E.
