A CT Scan of the St Cuthbert Gospel - Collection Care blog

E quando meno te l'aspetti ecco un post su una tecnica eccezionale. Sembra incredibile e oltretutto ha portato nuove informazioni sul Vangelo di San Cutberto (che non vi dico così vi leggete l'articolo).

A CT Scan of the St Cuthbert Gospel

A CT scan of the St Cuthbert Gospel – the earliest intact European book dating to the early eight century - has been published in a ground-breaking new book launched this week: The St Cuthbert Gospel: Studies on the Insular Manuscript of the Gospel of John, edited by Claire Breay, Head of Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts at the British Library, and Bernard Meehan, Head of Research Collections and Keeper of Manuscripts at Trinity College, Dublin. Colleagues from Collection Care and Medieval Manuscripts took the pocket gospel to the Natural History Museum for CT analysis to understand the structure of the ancient gospel, which was found inside the coffin of St Cuthbert in 1104.

Oil on Paper: A Collaborative Conservation Challenge | Circulating Now

OIL ON PAPER: A COLLABORATIVE CONSERVATION CHALLENGE

POSTED BY CIRCULATING NOW ON JUNE 16, 2015 IN COLLECTIONS, NEWS, RARE BOOKS & JOURNALS | LEAVE A COMMENT

By Kristi Wright and Holly Herro

Sometimes conservators encounter problems resulting from well-intended but ultimately flawed repair techniques.  One example of this is the formerly widespread practice of applying oil to the covers of books.  Once considered best practice in libraries, the application of oil-based leather dressing to leather book bindings was a widely accepted treatment method.  The idea was to keep the leather supple and prevent deterioration.

As was the case with many well-intended treatment methods, these leather “dressings” did not pass the test of time. In NLM collections, the oil ultimately absorbed not only into the leather, but also sometimes migrated into the paper pages and other adjacent porous materials.  In some cases this may be a result of overzealous application, but in other cases the oil is simply seeping through the leather cover and moving deeper into the book.
