SUMMARY:Multispectral Gaze: New Approaches to the Cotton Genesis
LOCATION:British Library\, NW1 2DB
DESCRIPTION:The Cotton Genesis (British Library\, Cotton MS Otho B VI) is one of the greatest works of manuscript art to survive from late Antiquity and one of the most tragic casualties of the Cotton Library fire of 1731. New multispectral imaging completed at the British Library and sponsored by the Gina Goldhammer Foundation\, has opened exciting opportunities for major breakthroughs in the study of this late-fifth-century artwork. Parts of the texts and illuminations of the Cotton Genesis\, damaged in the fire and barely visible to the naked eye\, can now be seen through a set of ultraviolet\, infrared\, and visible light images.The interdisciplinary conference Multispectral Gaze: New Approaches to the Cotton Genesis aims to celebrate the completion of the digitisation campaign and the discoveries it can generate. By drawing on the manuscript’s multispectral images\, leading specialists on late antique book production\, art\, palaeography\, and collection history will provide new insights on the Cotton Genesis.
