Explore scientific identification of inks & pigments in medieval texts and the cultural implications in this virtual seminar.

This virtual seminar will explore current work on the scientific identification of the inks and pigments used in medieval texts, and on the cultural implications of the newest findings. It will also consider the challenge of recovering erased texts, taking a particularly difficult and intriguing eighth-century 'palimpsest' as a case study. Richard Gameson is professor of the history of the book at Durham University. He has published more than 100 studies of medieval manuscripts, art, and libraries. His most recent book is <a href="https://archetype.co.uk/our-titles/the-pigments-of-british-medieval-illuminators/?id=448" title="https://archetype.co.uk/our-titles/the-pigments-of-british-medieval-illuminators/?id=448" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Pigments of British Medieval Illuminators: a scientific and cultural study </a>(London: Archetype, 2023). Written in collaboration with chemist colleagues, this is the first account of its field and the first comprehensive survey of illuminators’ pigments for any western country.
