Abstract

Multispectral imaging is a powerful technique for the non-invasive analysis of medieval manuscripts, providing a rapid assesment of a manuscript prior to analysis by other methods such as Raman or full-spectrum reflectance spectroscopy. In this paper I demonstrate how simple MSI is used to differentitate blue pigments on the page, and demonstrate that arists of the 15th centrury used pigments in a vert speicifc and deliberate way.
