Joint project of State Historical Museum and Space Research Institute sheds light on the origin of old manuscripts.

Is it possible to see the IX century miniature under the painting of XIV century? Is it possible to read an early medieval text, which had been erased and covered with new lines? Thanks to the collaborative work of IKI and State Historical Museum, the answer is: 'Yes".

Researchers from State Historical Museum and IKI were awarded with the Literature and Arts Prize of Central Federal District. They use multispectral imaging to study ancient manuscripts.
