Pigment analysis medieval manuscripts

One project dealing with medieval manuscripts has had as its objective the application of small-particle-analysis techniques to the study of pigments in medieval Armenian and Byzantine manuscripts. At the University of Chicago, 10 decorated manuscripts were sampled (Table 10). These manuscripts represent a broad chronological span ranging from the tenth century to the post-Byzantine era (sixteenth century or later).
