Hidden in Plain Sight is a collaboration between @QMUL, @QMUL_HSS,@theUL, @MAACambridge, @NLWales, and other leading libraries. We’re using cutting-edge technology at Cambridge University Library to reveal the hidden stories of ancient books.
As part of the @HiPS_Project, Amélie Deblauwe, an imaging specialist at the Cambridge University Library's Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory (CHIL), is using macro photography to reveal details of the binding of a 15th-C Jewish prayer book (MS Add.662). #HiddenInPlainSight

David Mills [@QMUL] visited the Cultural Heritage Imaging Lab @theUL today for an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) session. We’re investigating the unique black material used to conceal several hymns in a 15th-century Jewish liturgical codex, CUL Add.662. #HebrewManuscripts

🕵️♂️ @CUL MS Add.662, a 15th-century Ashkenazi Mahzor, has many Piyutim obscured by a waxy substance. However, one gloss shaped like a Magen David is partially visible after our MSI and XRF analyses. Can anyone help decipher the text beneath?
Unveiling the hidden secrets in ancient books using heritage science tech 🔬 The @HiPS_Project project has been enabled by the @UKRI_News @ahrcpress World Class Labs programme. Find out more about this work's impact in AHRC’s latest blog post: loom.ly/bE8dfqg @QMUL_HSS
Investment into the @theUL's Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory, has allowed the @HiPS_Project team to access a variety of innovative technologies to explore how sacred books were used, modified and venerated. Discover some of the technologies in this thread...
One of the first techniques used by the @HiPS_Project was microscopy. Analysis of a 15th Century Book of Hours (CUL Dd.15.25) revealed damage marks created by an as yet unknown tool.
Another example of a technique being used in the @HiPS_Project is Fiber Optic Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS). This is a non-invasive technique to identify pigments and dyes. Here is @theUL’s first Heritage Scientist, Flavia Fiorillo demonstrating how it’s done!
