Abstract
Some manuscripts are difficult to read because they’re stained or faded; others have an inconvenient crease above a crucial word. And others are palimpsests with ghostly undertexts that survived medieval attempts to erase them to accommodate new writings. As a part of a new combined methodological approach, from 14–18 September the Genizah Research Unit and Cambridge University Library hosted an international team of scholars and scientists – palaeographers, physicists and specialists of multispectral imaging – joining forces in the deciphering and interpretation of a number of manuscripts with readings that are particularly difficult. Initiated and coordinated by a Hebrew palaeographer, Judith OlszowySchlanger of the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris in collaboration with Ben Outhwaite of the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit, the project has applied cutting-edge technology and multidisciplinary scientific analysis to the study of dozens of Genizah fragments.
