Seeing together: an innovative and collaborative multispectral imaging initiative

Abstract

This article examines how collaboration drives innovation in an imaging collective and the broader Digital Humanities field. Videntes: A Multispectral Imaging Collective, a multidisciplinary team, emphasizes transdisciplinary and user-centered approaches for imaging technologies, integrating diverse perspectives to develop innovative solutions. A key focus of Videntes is making multispectral imaging (MSI) technology and training more accessible. The team worked on manuscript T, vol. 1, a 14th-century compilation of romances, songs, and biblical stories, severely damaged in a 1904 fire at the Turin National University Library. At the Fondazione Museo del Tesoro del Duomo in Vercelli, they used MSI to recover data from its burned folios, prioritizing cost-effective and accessible technologies. This article presents preliminary results from imaging conducted with the MISHA system, processed using the R-CHIVE spectral imaging app and experimental Python-based coding. The authors also discuss the potential for AI-driven tools to assist non-experts in imaging analysis.

Anteprima del testo

1. Introduction

Videntes was established as a multispectral imaging collective in July 2022 after a successful imaging campaign at the Fondazione Museo del Tesoro del Duomo e Archivio Capitolare in Vercelli, Italy. This campaign brought four scholars together, most of whom had been working independently on a rare group of scrolls held by the Archivio Capitolare in Vercelli. The discovery, preservation, and continued examination of these scrolls reflects a centuries-long commitment to the production and dissemination of knowledge in Vercelli, and Videntes seeks to understand how considering the scrolls as a group, rather than a series of independent objects, furthers our understanding of their origin and function at the cathedral of Vercelli in the Middle Ages.

The Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria of Turin delivered manuscript T, vol. 1, to Videntes and the Fondazione del Museo del Tesoro del Duomo e Archivio Capitolare in Vercelli for multispectral imaging on June 25, 2024. Dated to...
