Jordi PuigJordi Puig (ORCID: 0009-0004-3720-1911) is a retired art conservator with decades of experience in the preservation of medieval panel paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and rare books. His professional career has combined technical expertise with hitorical research, focusing in particular on the production, dismemberment, and digital reconstruction of manuscript heritage in Catalonia and the broader Mediterranean region. As a senior member of the Organisation pour la Protection des Manuscrits Médiévaux (OProM), Puig has contributed to key international initiatives aimed at safeguarding manuscript culture from biblioclasm, illicit trade, and institutional inaction. He played a leading role in the digital reconstruction of the Madruzzo Book of Hours, a 15th-century Flemish manuscript illuminated by Marie Vrelant and dismembered in 2017. His monograph, "The Madruzzo Book of Hours, a Dismembered Manuscript Illuminated by Marie Vrelant" (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2025, ISBN: 1-0364-4799-5), reconstructs the manuscript's history and artistic context while addressing the legal and ethical implications of its commercial dispersion. Puig continues to work as an independent scholar, advocating for provenance transparency, manuscript integrity, and ethical standards in heritage preservation. Read More Read Less
