Multispectral Data of the Manichaean Epistles from the collections of Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung Berlin and Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie

Multispectral imaging was performed in Berlin (November 2019) and Warsaw (December 2021) to assist preparing a first published edition of all papyrus leaves identified as belonging to P. Berol. inv. 15998.  These are the remnants of a codex containing copies of letters written by Mani or Manichaeus in a Coptic translation, as circulated amongst the Manichaean communities of Egypt in late antiquity.  The artefact was acquired for the Berlin state museums (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin) in the early 1930s.  The print edition of these remains was published by Iain Gardner as <em>Mani’s Epistles </em>in 2022.  The images can be viewed here as listed according to the page numbers assigned to them in the publication, and also referenced to the inventory numbers utilised by the museums in Berlin and Warsaw where they are now housed.

2019年11月于柏林、2021年12月于华沙开展了多光谱成像（Multispectral Imaging, MSI）工作，以助力完成首批公开发布的、经鉴定属于P. Berol. inv. 15998的全部纸莎草残页的校勘出版。该残片属于一部抄本的残存部分，该抄本收录了以科普特语翻译的摩尼（Mani/Manichaeus）书信抄本，在古罗马晚期于埃及摩尼教社群中流传。该文物于20世纪30年代初入藏柏林国家博物馆（Staatliche Museen zu Berlin）。2022年，伊恩·加德纳（Iain Gardner）以《曼尼书信集》（*Mani’s Epistles*）为名出版了该残片的印刷版校勘本。本数据集图像可按照出版物中赋予的页码进行查阅，同时也可通过现藏的柏林与华沙博物馆所使用的馆藏编号进行索引。
