An iron-gall ink identified across three fragments (T-S F17.4, T-S 12.755, T-S 12.756) of a single Talmud Yerushalmi manuscript. The elemental fingerprint (Cu and Zn relative to Fe) is identical for the main text in all three documents (p. 157).
Original Recipe Text
An iron-gall ink identified across three fragments (T-S F17.4, T-S 12.755, T-S 12.756) of a single Talmud Yerushalmi manuscript. The elemental fingerprint (Cu and Zn relative to Fe) is identical for the main text in all three documents (p. 157).
Evidence
"In all three cases, both inks fade away under NIR illumination, which is a characteristic feature of iron-gall ink."
Remarks
The study of these fragments helped confirm they are 'joins' from the same original manuscript copied around the 10th century (p. 157).
