1. Bregenzer fragment

   The [[Bregenzer fragment]] (German: Bregenzer Bruchstück) is a single illuminated [[parchment]] manuscript leaf dating to the late 9th century. Discovered in 1923 within the binding of a 15th-century choir book at the [[Territorial Abbey of Wettingen-Mehrerau|Mehrerau Abbey]] in [[Bregenz]], [[Austria]], the fragment contains 34 lines of an otherwise unknown heroic epic written in an [[Alemannic German|Alemannic dialect]] of [[Old High German]]. It is widely considered one of the most significant linguistic discoveries of the 20th century regarding early Alpine literature. The text describes a battle between a legendary local figure, [[Dietrich of Brigantium]], and an unnamed serpentine creature, providing a rare synthesis of [[Christianity|Christian]] eschatology and pre-Christian Germanic mythology. It is currently held at the [[Vorarlberger Landesbibliothek]] under the shelfmark Cod. Breg. 14.

2. Arecibo message

   The [[Arecibo message]] is an interstellar radio message carrying basic information about humanity and Earth that was sent to the [[Messier 13|globular star cluster M13]] in the hope that extraterrestrial intelligence might receive and decipher it.
