Summary
A recently discovered Talmud fragment from the Maulbronn Monastery Complex, dated to the late 15th century, provides new evidence for the existence of a bookbinding workshop within the monastery's scriptorium. The fragment, found during roofing work in 2013, is part of a lost manuscript titled 'Liber miraculorum ordinis cisterciensis,' suggesting it may have been produced locally. This finding aligns with earlier hypotheses about the development of Maulbronn's book production and supports the notion that a dedicated bookbinding workshop operated there during this period.
