Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 181924784
In this project, modern technology is used to recover manuscript texts that are illegible due to accidental damage, intentional erasure or palimpsesting. The project employs one of the very latest technical systems for high-resolution multispectral imaging for this purpose and draws on several years of experience in its mobile use as well as tried and tested methods of evaluating the image data obtained with it. Specialised imaging work is being carried out for numerous sub-projects conducted at the SFB, and the interdiscipli¬nary methodology employed in analysing manuscripts is being enhanced using technical approaches together with staff working on project Z02 and Z03.
