Project Update: EMEL Spectral Imaging of Codex Climaci Rescriptus at MOTB
EMEL completed a dedicated multispectral imaging campaign at the Museum of the Bible (Washington, DC) to support the documentation of key folios of the Codex Climaci Rescriptus (CCR). The on‑site team included imaging Scientists from EMEL and RIT, along with technical support from MegaVision.
This work captured high‑resolution datasets to assess condition, highlight obscured text, and help prioritize areas for subsequent scientific study—work that preceded X‑ray analysis carried out at SLAC’s Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (source).
EMEL and the Lazarus project (University of Rochester) had originally imaged and performed image processing on this important manuscript in 2017 (source).
