Lesson: INFRARED REFLECTOGRAPHY
This lesson delves into the use of infrared reflectography as an effective tool for enhancing the readability of palimpsests. In particular, this technique proves invaluable when examining texts overwritten with iron gall ink, which becomes transparent in the far-infrared spectral range. This transparency allows for easier reading of underlying carbon-based inks, making it a powerful method for revealing hidden or obscured writings.
