- A fragment from a manuscript of the medieval French story of Merlin the magician was recently re-discovered at Cambridge University Library. Come and discover it with our imaging and library specialists! www.festival.cam.ac.uk/events/digit...
- It survived as the binding of a 16th century archival register of property at the manor of Huntingfield in Suffolk. The fragment was not removed from the document but preserved in situ as an original example of modern English archival binding in a project funded by @camdighum.bsky.social.
- The talk will show how advanced digitisation techniques allowed the virtual unfolding of the fragment, whose handling is particularly delicate, and increased the readability of the text.Mar 21, 2025 17:14
