Multispectral Imaging Data of Ink Mock-Ups on Paper from Arabic Recipes

Multispectral Imaging Data of ink and paper coating mock-ups, prepared according to Arabic recipes dating between the 9th and the 20th centuries CE. The data were acquired in 2017 as part of the PhD thesis of Claudia Colini. The mock-ups consist of 30 formulations of black inks, of which 17 iron gall inks (nrs: 52, 63, 64, 73, 99, 106, 12, 112, 115, 127, 134, 138, 143, 147, 148, 154, 217), 7 carbon inks (nrs: 6, 17, 35, 39, 44, 46, 50), 5 mixed inks (nrs: 165, 168, 173, 182, 193) and 1 squid ink (nr. 218). The inks were applied to paper coated with 4 different recipes (nrs: 1, 2, 3, 5). Each ink was applied twice, creating two mock-ups: one was used as a reference, the other was aged. The ageing was done by Michael Bücker at the BAM with the ageing chamber WK11-180/40 (Weiss Umwelttechnik GmbH), with the conditions of T=80°C and RH=65% for 49 days, with a pre- and post-conditioning of 24 hours at T=20°C and RH=50%. The mocks-ups of a single ink formulation can be found on each set of images: the reference samples on the 4 papers with different coatings are on the left, while the aged ones are on the right. A control sample of ink applied on whatman paper was also included in the picture. The set of images called "Paper_Samples" shows the writing supports with different coatings but without the application of inks. From top to bottom: nr 2, 1, 5, 0 (no coating), 3.

根据公元9至20世纪阿拉伯配方制备的墨水与纸张涂层实物模型的多光谱成像数据。该数据于2017年采集，是Claudia Colini博士论文的一部分。实物模型包含30种黑色墨水配方，其中17种为铁胆墨水（iron gall inks，编号：52、63、64、73、99、106、12、112、115、127、134、138、143、147、148、154、217），7种为碳墨水（编号：6、17、35、39、44、46、50），5种为混合墨水（编号：165、168、173、182、193），以及1种鱿鱼墨（编号：218）。这些墨水被施加于采用4种不同配方涂层的纸张上（编号：1、2、3、5）。每种墨水施加两次，形成两个实物模型：一个用作参照样本，另一个进行老化处理。老化处理由Michael Bücker在BAM采用WK11-180/40型老化箱（Weiss Umwelttechnik GmbH生产）完成，条件为温度80°C、相对湿度65%，持续49天；预处理与后处理条件均为温度20°C、相对湿度50%，各持续24小时。单种墨水配方的实物模型可在每组图像中找到：采用4种不同涂层纸张的参照样本位于左侧，而老化样本位于右侧。图像中还包含施加于沃特曼纸上的墨水对照样本。名为“Paper_Samples”的图像集展示了带有不同涂层但未施加墨水的书写载体，从上至下依次为：编号2、1、5、0（无涂层）、3。
