Until recently, four parchment fragments have been identified as membra disiecta coming from this codex: two strips from Pembroke College, Cambridge (currently held at the University Library), a fragment from a bifolium in the Municipal Library in Haarlem, Holland, and an incomplete leaf from a Schlossmuseum in Sondershausen, Germany. All of these fragments were removed from unknown books with no documentation of the process. In 2020/21, two more fragments from […]
Barbara Wagner, associate professor in the Laboratory of Theoretical Aspects of Analytical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Warsaw; chemist; M.A. in Arts obtained at the Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. She is interested in developing new, multi-analytical scenarios for the study of elemental and isotopic composition of historical objects. Her research focuses on the use of micro- and non-destructive spectral methods in the material analysis of the sources, applied according to the standard protocols of safety and protection concerning the analysed material. In 2016, she […]
