Material analysis of inks from Byzantine manuscripts
Research field “Artefact profiling” at the Cluster of Excellence “Understanding Written Artefacts” of the University of Hamburg aims at bridging the gap between humanities and natural sciences and technology. To that purpose, we set up a laboratory with a range of high-end instruments, most of them mobile, allowing thorough non-destructive analysis of written artefacts. Through a selection of examples from Byzantine manuscripts we will present our equipment and the possibilities offered by the different techniques available to contribute to both archaeometrical and philological questions: typology and classification of inks, provenance studies, recovery of faded inscriptions and palimpsests, reconstruction of the history of manuscripts, authentication and dating.
