Considerations
The historical manuscript needed to be analyzed without damage of any kind. Thus, it had to be measured in its entirety, and at atmospheric pressure.
The generated XRF images provided valuable information on the specific pigments used, allowing a better understanding of the processes used to create the manuscript, and ensuring the most suitable conservation techniques can be used to preserve the manuscript for future generations.
