The visit is proposed for the period Monday 9 May (arriving Sunday 8 May) to Friday 3 June (leaving Saturday 4 June). We are bringing a team of 6 conservators for this visit, led by Michael Gullick, with Guy de Witte (second visit), and, for the first time, Andrew Megaw (who works in the conservation studio at Trinity College, Dublin), Maria Kalligerou and Maria Argyrou, who are both regular team members, and Esra Göknil Iâ??Anson, who until recently worked at the British Library. The purpose of the visit is to continue the condition assessment of the bound manuscripts. All have confirmed that they are available at this time.
Dr Nicholas Pickwoad will come out with the team for the first ten days to help with the survey work and also to discuss possibilities for work in the future. He plans to leave the monastery on Thursday 19 May. For further details please contact Octavia Allocco
