The physicochemistry of parchment and inks - experimental and historical approaches.
Residential colloquium-workshop at the Haugimont estate on the subject of the physicochemistry of parchment and inks from experimental and historical approaches.
Residential colloquium-workshop at the Haugimont estate on the subject of the physicochemistry of parchment and inks from experimental and historical approaches.
will take place from September 2 to 6, 2024 at the Gîte du domaine d'Haugimont (owned by the University of Namur) and will deal with medieval manuscripts in their material and historical aspects (parchment and ink manufacture). The event is aimed at historians, archaeologists and researchers in the physical and chemical sciences. Participation is free for doctoral students attached to FNRS doctoral schools in the disciplines concerned.
At the crossroads of archaeology, history and the exact sciences, this colloquium-workshop will give the floor to three speakers (a physicist, a chemist and a historian) who will present the interdisciplinary research they are conducting together in this field. Workshops on parchment reproduction, inks and writing materials will be held each day.
