根西岛档案馆发现了17个中世纪手稿片段，时间跨度为12至15世纪，为了解中世纪这个英国皇家属地的文学与智识活动提供了新的窗口。1这些片段曾在16至17世纪被切割回收利用，用作租赁账簿和行政记录的装订材料。1
出土的手稿内容丰富多样，包括法文戏剧、奥维德诗歌和圣经段落等。1其中最为珍贵的是菲利普·德·梅济埃创作于1395年左右的戏剧诗歌《L'Estoire de Griseldis》，这一版本极其罕见。1圣经段落包括晚12世纪的拉丁文版本，其中带有可能出自神父之手的15世纪早期注释。1
这项研究由肯特大学、牛津大学的学者与岛档案馆工作人员合作完成，揭示了根西岛中世纪居民阅读品味广泛，且主要依靠法文进行阅读。1根西岛档案馆将于9月10日举办学术研究日，由肯特大学支持，邀请英国和法国学者参与讨论。1
Seventeen medieval manuscript fragments spanning the twelfth to fifteenth centuries have been discovered in Guernsey's archives, offering fresh insight into the intellectual and literary life of the island during the Middle Ages.1 These fragments, which were repurposed during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as binding material for administrative records and lease accounts, contain a diverse range of texts including French drama, Ovidian poetry, and biblical passages.1 The collection demonstrates that medieval Guernsey residents maintained broad reading tastes and conducted much of their intellectual life in French.1
Among the notable discoveries is a theatrical poem from L'Estoire de Griseldis, composed around 1395 by Philippe de Mézières—an extraordinarily rare version of this work.1 The fragments also include biblical passages in Latin dating to the late twelfth century, accompanied by annotations from the early fifteenth century that scholars believe may have been written by a priest.1 The research was conducted through collaboration between scholars from the University of Kent and the University of Oxford alongside staff from Guernsey's archives.1
The island's archives will host an academic research day on September 10, supported by the University of Kent's Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, bringing together scholars from Britain and France to further examine these findings.1
