D’azur et d’or. Analyse spectrométrique des miniatures de la Bible de Paris
Azure and Gold. A Spectrometric Analysis of the Illuminated Paris Syriac Bible The Paris Syriac Bible (BnF Syriaque 341) was written in northern Mesopotamia during the sixth century. This imposing codex, which contains both the Old and New Testaments, preserves a fragmentary decoration which ranks among the earliest evidence of Syriac illumination. The spectrometric analysis of inks, dyes and pigments, carried out by an international team between…
A Study and Comparative Analysis of the Action of the Deacidifying Products Bookkeeper® and Nanorestore Paper® on Plant Textile Fibres
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of deacidifying treatments for the restoration of textiles used as supports for works of art, with particular attention to the chemical stability, colour variation and mechanical resistance of the materials over time. The present study involved the analysis of two products: BookkeeperTM, containing magnesium oxide, and NanorestoreTM, a dispersion of calcium hydroxide in alcoholic solutions of…
Rare tattoos shape and composition on a South American mummy
Unusual tattoos shape and composition on unpublished mummified South American mummy. • Combination of imaging, chemical-physical analyses and anthropological literature. • Analytical approach demonstrates the presence of magnetite. • Corroboration of the role of museum collection in the analysis of ancient culture. • Multidisciplinary study to broaden the vision of tattoo practice in South America. Tattooing was a widely distributed cultural prac…

A multi-analytical synchrotron approach to investigate ancient Chinese ochres for authentication purposes
Unusual Composition of the Sarezzano Reliquary Busts
The interdisciplinary study of two reliquary busts from Sarezzano (Piedmont, Italy) is a perfect example of the necessity to provide for material characterisation as a recurring common practice in historical studies and a mandatory step in conservation assessment. Furthermore, the diagnostics of cultural heritage play a crucial role in art historical research, providing relevant information on artefacts’ genesis, production technology, and conser…
Non-Invasive Analyses of Italian “Ostrogothic” Jewellery
The Desana treasure is a remarkable assemblage of items made of gold, silver, gemstones and glasses found in north-western Italy. Most scholars agree on the fact that the core of the treasure might have belonged to a single deposit resulted from a long period of selection, accumulation and use. The treasure testifies to the evolution of goldsmiths’ art in Ostrogothic Italy and represents an extraordinary material trace of the Italian elites of th…
On the Hierarchical Use of Colourants in a 15th Century Book of Hours
An illuminated Book of Hours (in use in Chalon-sur-Saône) currently owned by the Museo Civico di Arte Antica and displayed in the prestigious Palazzo Madama in Torino (Italy) was investigated by means of optical microscopy, fibre optic reflectance spectroscopy, fibre optic molecular fluorimetry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy. The aim of the scientific survey was to expand the knowledge of the manuscript itself and on the …
Non-Invasive Study on the Sinope Gospels
The 6th century Codex Sinopensis or Sinope Gospels (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France) is one of the most precious purple codices that survive from the Late Antique period. Together with the Vienna Genesis (Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek) and the Rossano Gospels (Rossano Calabro, Museo Diocesano), it has an unusually rich decorative apparatus with scenes representing biblical episodes. It can be, therefore, considered one of the m…
New evidence of non-traditional Egyptian blue manufacture in the 6th century Ashburnham Pentateuch

Potentialities of X-ray fluorescence analysis in numismatics
Accuracy improvement by means of porosity assessment and standards optimization in SEM-EDS and XRF elemental analyses on archaeological and historical pottery and porcelain
Multi‐Technique Characterization of Adhesives Used in Medieval Jewellery
In this work, a multi‐technique analytical approach was used to characterize adhesive samples taken from medieval chef d'oeuvres jewellery, three manuscript bindings and a crucifix produced in northern Italy between the 8th and the 11th century ad , according to art‐historical evaluation and 14 C dating executed on adhesives. These materials being complex mixtures, mostly of organic/inorganic nature, various analytical techniques were utilized to…
XRF Characterization Of 18th Century Piedmontese Porcelains From The Palazzo Madama Museum (Torino, Italy)
Around 100 porcelain objects of the 18th century Rossetti, Vische and Vinovo manufactures (Piedmont, Italy) from the Palazzo Madama Museum collection were analysed by means of an X‐ray fluorescence portable detector. The present study represents the first chemical characterization of these early (1737–1825) European porcelains. Chemical composition data were submitted to multivariate clustering techniques that underscored a complete classificatio…

Characterisation of colourants on illuminated manuscripts by portable fibre optic UV-visible-NIR reflectance spectrophotometry
The use of ultraviolet and visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry as a preliminary technique in the investigation of illuminated manuscripts is discussed. Because ancient manuscripts are amongst the most fragile and precious artworks, characterisation of the materials used in their decoration should be performed using non-invasive analytical methods. Ultraviolet and visible reflectance spectrophotometry with optical fibres (FORS) allows no…
