The slide digitisation is now completed. This was a project which lasted about 12 months and involved 4 persons. Georgia Gkouliavoudi, Isabelle Egan, Nikolaos Mantzouris and Heather Ravenberg have managed to complete the project before the expected date which was Christmas. Special credit should go to Heather for her huge contribution, especially over the past two months.

The resulting digital images are only available to the project members and the Monastery holds the copyright.

We would also like to thank the Headley Trust for generously funding this project.

Photography

During the condition assessment of a manuscript, a number of photographs are taken to record key elements of the binding structure. These include the inside and outside of the boards, the spine and foredge and the head and tail of the book. In certain cases of unusual or complex elements, detail photographs are also taken.
