AbstractThe Cluster of Excellence 'Understanding Written Artefacts' follows a comparative approach to studying how the production of written artefacts has shaped human societies and cultures, and how these in turn have adapted written artefacts to their needs. This session presents recent collaborative research by scientists from STEM subjects and scholars of the humanities that bridges the gap between these fields and sheds new light on medieval material culture, both within and beyond Europe. The focus will be on how scientific analysis of paper or ink can widen our perspective on different medieval cultures.
