Starting from this finding, in June 2018 a preliminary campaign of analysis by means of X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) of external portions removed mechanically from their original rolls in the eighteenth century (the so-called scorze) took place at the Biblioteca Nazionale at Naples. Also in this case, the aim of the survey was to investigate the ink composition in order to detect possible traces of metal. This article sums up the results of this survey.</p>","doi":"10.25592/uhhfdm.1569","embargo_date":"2021-09-10","journal":{"pages":"50-52","title":"Zeitschrift f\u00fcr Papyrologie und Epigraphik","volume":"216"},"keywords":["CSMC","UWA","Manuscript","Written Artefacts","Artefact Profiling","BAM","Univerist\u00e4t zu K\u00f6ln","Biblioteca Nazionale di Napoli","RFA11","Z02","X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)","Bruker XGLab ELIO","Papyrus","Carbon Ink","Metals","Ink Analysis","Herculaneum","Latin","Greek","Scorze","Philodemus"],"language":"eng","license":{"id":"CC-BY-4.0"},"notes":"The research for this project was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) within the Cluster of Excellence \u00abUnderstanding Written Artefacts: Material, Interaction and Transmission in Manuscript Cultures\u00bb.
