@overholt According to the story, there are 40 or so surviving manuscripts of this text. While I do find fascinating this photographic technique to re-create what the manuscript looked like (and the technique has been used on other manuscripts), I also kept thinking about all those texts for which we have one surviving copy (or none), and how hopefully we might find even rarer gems inside these Renaissance bindings.
