This volume digitally reconstructs a 15th-century Book of Hours illuminated by Robert Boyvin, which was dismembered by a notorious American dealer. Utilising the WBRM methodology, it integrates digital humanities and philological research to restore the manuscript, addressing the ethical challenges associated with manuscript dismemberment. The study examines the manuscript's historical context, its connection to Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, and Louis de La Londe. Through provenance and dating analysis, it provides a comprehensive understanding of this cultural treasure and advocates against biblioclasm. It underscores the ethical responsibility of preserving our heritage, critiques the complicity of some scholars in manuscript dismemberment, and highlights the omission of critical information in cataloguing platforms. Aimed at scholars, preservationists, and enthusiasts, this book revitalises a dismembered masterpiece and enriches the discourse on the ethical handling of historical artefacts.

Professor Carla Rossi, a philologist and art historian, trained and taught at the Universities of Rome (Italy), Fribourg, and Zurich (both in Switzerland). Active in academia since the 1990s, she specialises in Italian, Old-French, and Latin literature. Her work includes critical editions of Old-French and Renaissance Italian texts, and research on Anglo-Norman texts, Marie de France, and the intellectual milieu around Archbishop Thomas Becket. She also investigated the circumstances surrounding the theft of Royal MS 16 e VIII from the British Museum in 1879. In 2006, Rossi launched the 'Biblioclasm & Digital Reconstruction' project, restoring scattered manuscripts. Currently, she is a visiting expert at the University of Salento, Italy.PhD Alex Martin, a young researcher, focuses on the digital reconstruction of dismembered medieval manuscripts, particularly French and Italian antiphonaries stolen after natural disasters. He serves as the young representative for the Organisation pour la Protection des Manuscrits Médiévaux, aiding in the preservation of medieval manuscripts.
