A Workshop/Visit

At the Parker Library, 4 March 1994
in the Series of Research Group Seminars on ‘The Evidence of Manuscripts’
The Parker Library, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge
[First published on our website on 9 September 2016]
In our Series on “The Evidence of Manuscripts”, this Workshop (also called a Visit) followed our larger Workshop or Seminar on “Image-Processing and Manuscript Studies” on 15 January, but it resulted from its own set of extended preparations by another Project, likewise funded by The Leverhulme Trust. For this purpose, members of that project, based at University College London, brought some portable scientific equipment for close observation of selected details involving red pigment in a few Insular and Anglo-Saxon manuscripts.
The subject of the Visit to the Parker Library: Non-destructive analysis of “Pigments in Selected Corpus Manuscripts” by UltraViolet-visible spectroscopy.
