Neilly Series Lecture--February 23
Roger Easton and Keith Knox, speakers
Hawkins-Carlson Room
February 23, 2012 7:30pm to 8:30pm
Roger Easton, Professor at RIT's Chester F. Carlson Center for
Imaging Science, and Keith Knox, UR alumnus and retiree from
Xerox Corporation, will present "Ten Years of Imaging between
(and through) Lines of the Archimedes Palimpsest" on Thursday,
February 23rd.
Dr. Easton and Dr. Knox will discuss the Archimedes Palimpsest, a
circa 10th-century parchment manuscript that includes the oldest
known copies of seven treatises by Archimedes. This talk will
consider the entire restoration project, with emphasis on the
imaging and processing techniques used to clarify and enhance
the texts.
The pages of the text were erased and overwritten early in the
13th century to make a Christian prayer book. The manuscript
was sold at action in 1998 and lent by its new owner to the
Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, which has led the collaboration
of conservators, imaging scientists, and scholars to preserve,
image, transcribe, and translate the original writings.
The Neilly Series Lectures are free and open to the public.
