Multispectral Data individual pages of manuscripts "Springer 5", "Glaser 2", "SHT2076" and "SHTI381" of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz

The data acquisition of the following cultural heritage objects was performed in November 2016, at the end of the multispectral imaging campaign to recover the damaged writing (palimpsest) in 'SBB Peterman II Nachtrag 24', which contains the earliest Coptic version of the Book of Enoch. The imaging was carried out at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz. The campaign was co-organised by the Early Manuscript Electronic Library (EMEL), the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC), the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) and the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz. Imaging was carried out using the CSMC Megavision E7 multispectral imaging system, which was overhauled and upgraded by Megavision senior engineer Ken Boydston prior to the imaging campaign. Image processing of the acquired data was completed by Ivan Shevchuk in January 2017. The MSI system was operated by Damianos Kasotakis (EMEL) and Ivan Shevchuk (CSMC).

These particular manuscripts were selected by the staff of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz.
