Fragmentary writing

Fragmentary writing refers to texts that are incomplete or only partially preserved, often existing as broken fragments of original manuscripts. These pieces may lack context, full sentences, or important sections, making it challenging to fully understand the original message or story. Such fragments are common in ancient or damaged manuscripts, where parts of the writing have been lost over time due to decay, disaster, or other factors. Despite their incompleteness, these fragments can provide valuable insights, helping scholars reconstruct historical, literary, or cultural contexts.
