🔬 Wenn Geschichte strahlt

Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse bringt neue Einblicke in eine Handschrift der Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt: Die Ms. lat. qu. 15, zugeschrieben Robert Fludd (1574-1637), wird im DFG-Projekt @hab_wf auf ihre materiellen Spuren sowie Entstehungsprozesse untersucht – das Zusammenspiel zwischen Autor, Künstlern, Handwerkern und Verlegern.

As a ‘book scientist’ I work with microscopes, imaging technologies and AI to preserve ancient texts

Book science helps decipher and preserve fragile manuscripts, at a moment when climate change and mass digitization are reshaping cultural heritage work.

„Fenster in die Vergangenheit – Archäologie im Burgenland“

Über 8.000 Jahre ununterbrochene Besiedlung haben das Burgenland zu einem einzigartigen kulturgeschichtlichen Schatz gemacht. Der neue Masterplan Archäologie mit acht großen Flagship-Projekten zeigt, wie diese Funde wissenschaftlich erforscht und zugleich für die Öffentlichkeit erlebbar werden. Unter anderem wird das ÖAI-Projekt zur römischen Villa urbana in #Bruckneudorf vorgestellt🏺✨
