More on the Oxyrhynchus papyri
OK, Dirk Obbink has posted something at POxy Oxyrhynchus Online about the application of multi-spectral imaging techniques to the Oxyrhynchus papyri. The new textual discoveries will be published in the next volume of The Oxyrhynchus Papyri in May, and there will also be an article on the technical aspects in Scientific American.
There are also links to an NPR interview with Dirk Obbink and an NPR feature on MSI technology. There’s also a link to this older story about the use of MSI on the Herculaneum scrolls.
It sounds like the Independent‘s news article may have hyped things a bit, but this really is an advance, and new discoveries really do await the Oxyrhynchus papyri’s researchers.
