David Mills [@QMUL] visited the Cultural Heritage Imaging Lab @theUL today for an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) session. We’re investigating the unique black material used to conceal several hymns in a 15th-century Jewish liturgical codex, CUL Add.662. #HebrewManuscripts
🕵️♂️ @cul MS Add.662, a 15th-century Ashkenazi Mahzor, has many Piyutim obscured by a waxy substance. However, one gloss shaped like a Magen David is partially visible after our MSI and XRF analyses. Can anyone help decipher the text beneath?

@HiPS_Project @UKRI_News @ahrcpress @QMUL_HSS One of the first techniques used by the @HiPS_Project was microscopy. Analysis of a 15th Century Book of Hours (CUL Dd.15.25) revealed damage marks created by an as yet unknown tool.

@HiPS_Project @UKRI_News @ahrcpress @QMUL_HSS Another example of a technique being used in the @HiPS_Project is Fiber Optic Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS). This is a non-invasive technique to identify pigments and dyes. Here is @theUL’s first Heritage Scientist, Flavia Fiorillo demonstrating how it’s done!
