Abstract
Optical imaging methods play a central role in the study of manuscripts, from digitization, digital image processing to multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, the latter extending into the domain of spectroscopy. Their non-invasive nature and strong diagnostic potential make them valuable, especially when integrated into an interdisciplinary workflow that guides the selection of areas to be analyzed and supports the data interpretation.
