Treffer: Seeing together: an innovative and collaborative multispectral imaging initiative.

This article examines how collaboration drives innovation in an imaging collective and the broader Digital Humanities field. Videntes: A Multispectral Imaging Collective, a multidisciplinary team, emphasizes transdisciplinary and user-centered approaches for imaging technologies, integrating diverse perspectives to develop innovative solutions. A key focus of Videntes is making multispectral imaging (MSI) technology and training more accessible. The team worked on manuscript T, vol. 1, a 14th-century compilation of romances, songs, and biblical stories, severely damaged in a 1904 fire at the Turin National University Library. At the Fondazione Museo del Tesoro del Duomo in Vercelli, they used MSI to recover data from its burned folios, prioritizing cost-effective and accessible technologies. This article presents preliminary results from imaging conducted with the MISHA system, processed using the R-CHIVE spectral imaging app and experimental Python-based coding. The authors also discuss the potential for AI-driven tools to assist non-experts in imaging analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
