Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to present topics of integrated research on the characterization of papers for the diagnostics of their degradation and is addressed to a large research audience. The integration of different types of complementary information can greatly improve the diagnostic process on the conservation state of manuscripts, miniatures, colors. Manuscripts conservation and their characterization is crucial and aimed at the protection and conservation of manuscripts. The diagnostic process of paper is very complex and cannot be described by any single discipline. The preservation and conservation of paper can only be successful by combining different methodologies. The issue of multidisciplinarity in the nondestructive testing of paper and miniatures characterization is of great importance and multifaceted and deserves to be carefully addressed. Papers dealing with the description of new techniques and the integrated approach for the evaluation of the conservation state of ancient manuscripts are greatly welcome.
