    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;This multispectral data of the manuscript fragment &amp;quot;Hs. Or. 15246&amp;quot; was captured&amp;nbsp;at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preu&amp;szlig;ischer Kulturbesitz in November 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The manuscript, acquired only in 2022 (see &lt;a href="https://www.qalamos.net/receive/DE1Book_manuscript_00066341"&gt;https://www.qalamos.net/receive/DE1Book_manuscript_00066341&lt;/a&gt;), is a palimpsest with both its overtext and its undertext in Armenian. The lower layer, written in majuscules throughout, is a very important early witness of the Armenian Bible translation; it contains the Acts of Apostles and the Catholic Letters with remnants of the so-called Euthalian apparatus.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The MSI campaign was co-organised by the&amp;nbsp;Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preu&amp;szlig;ischer Kulturbesitz (&lt;a href="https://staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/"&gt;SBB&lt;/a&gt;) (&lt;a href="https://ror.org/02ysgg478"&gt;https://ror.org/02ysgg478&lt;/a&gt;),&amp;nbsp;the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (&lt;a href="https://www.csmc.uni-hamburg.de/"&gt;CSMC&lt;/a&gt;), ERC project&amp;nbsp;Development of Literacy in the Caucasian Territories (&lt;a href="https://www.csmc.uni-hamburg.de/delicate.html"&gt;DeLiCaTe&lt;/a&gt;). Imaging was carried out using the CSMC MegaVision E7 multispectral imaging system.&amp;nbsp;The MSI system was operated by the CSMC staff, the object was prepared and&amp;nbsp;handled by the&amp;nbsp;staff of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preusissscher Kulturbesitz&amp;nbsp;conservation department. (See&amp;nbsp;contributors)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Preview JPEGs&amp;nbsp;in sRGB color space&amp;nbsp;are compressed and of lower quality and&amp;nbsp;are only intended for quick&amp;nbsp;previewing. Original, high quality, D50 CIELAB TIF images&amp;nbsp;can be found in the Color folders&amp;nbsp;within each&amp;nbsp;ZIP file and in the PROCESSED folder. Each uploaded ZIP file&amp;nbsp;contains a folder with the 16bit flattened TIF images (carrying 12bit data) ready for image processing,&amp;nbsp;a folder with preview 8bit JPG&amp;nbsp;images and a processed folder with 8 or 24 bit processed images.&amp;nbsp;Raw images are not included&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;this dataset simply for&amp;nbsp;size reduction purposes. Raw images are stored internally on the servers of CSMC and, if necessary, can be separately accessed upon a reasonable request. For information about filenames and folder structure as well as MSI system,&amp;nbsp;please see the files in the&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;info&amp;quot; folder and read&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.fdr.uni-hamburg.de/record/16132"&gt;Brief Descriptions of Multispectral Imaging (MSI) Datasets&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as well as the &amp;quot;readme&amp;quot; file.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
