Comparing the effectiveness of hyperspectral imaging and Raman spectroscopy: a case study on Armenian manuscripts
Ian J. Maybury; David N. Howell; Melissa Terras, and Heather Viles · 2018
Catalogue summary
Maybury and colleagues test hyperspectral imaging against Raman spectroscopy on ten folios from six Armenian illuminated manuscripts in the Bodleian Library. The comparison finds that rapid imaging can map pigments efficiently but works best when checked against a more specific analytical technique and suitable reference data.
Why this matters
It demonstrates how conservation science can expand study of Armenian manuscript materials while making the limits of each imaging method explicit.
