HNN 21st-Century Imaging Helps Scholars Reveal Rare 8th-Century Manuscript
In medieval times, Lichfield, England, was a thriving cultural and
religious center. As time marched on, though, modern innovations left
it behind. The canals of the 18th century, the railroads of the 19th,
and the highways of the 20th all passed it by.
Now a literary scholar and a computer scientist from the University of
Kentucky have brought 21st-century digital imaging to Lichfield, to
study and help preserve one of its most ancient treasures: the
eighth-century illustrated Latin manuscript known as the St. Chad
Gospels.
