Multispectral Imaging Data of "Ms. or. fol. 2096" captured at Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz

This multispectral data of the manuscript fragment "Ms. or. fol. 2096" was captured at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preußischer Kulturbesitz in November 2025.

Ms. or. fol. 2096 is the only example of a magic scroll in Georgian (so-called "avgarozi") kept in a German library (https://digital.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/werkansicht/?PPN=PPN873233433). At several places within the scroll, a certain Mariam Abashidze has entered her name (as the owner?) over an erased former name. As the scroll is neither dated nor provenanced, the identification of this name is important for its history. The places in question were therefore imaged.

The MSI campaign was co-organised by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preußischer Kulturbesitz (SBB) (https://ror.org/02ysgg478), the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC), ERC project Development of Literacy in the Caucasian Territories (DeLiCaTe). Imaging was carried out using the CSMC MegaVision E7 multispectral imaging system. The MSI system was operated by the CSMC staff, the object was prepared and handled by the staff of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preusissscher Kulturbesitz conservation department.

Preview JPEGs in sRGB color space are compressed and of lower quality and are only intended for quick previewing. Original, high quality, D50 CIELAB TIF images can be found in the Color folders within each ZIP file. Each uploaded ZIP file contains the 16bit flattened TIF images ( carrying 12bit data) ready for image processing and 8bit JPG images. The sole purpose of the JPGs is viewing. Raw images are not included in this dataset simply for size reduction purposes. Raw images are stored internally on the servers of CSMC and, if necessary, can be separately accessed upon a reasonable request. For information about filenames and folder structure as well as MSI system, please see the files in the "info" folder and read the Brief Descriptions of Multispectral Imaging (MSI) Datasets.

本数据集包含的手稿残片"Ms. or. fol. 2096"的多光谱数据，于2025年11月在柏林国立普鲁士文化遗产图书馆（Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz）采集完成。

"Ms. or. fol. 2096"是目前德语馆藏中仅存的格鲁吉亚语魔法卷轴（所谓"avgarozi"）实例，相关详情可访问：https://digital.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/werkansicht/?PPN=PPN873233433。该卷轴的多处位置中，一位名为玛丽安·阿巴希泽（Mariam Abashidze）的人在被擦除的原姓名上方题写了自己的名字（推测为馆藏持有者）。由于该卷轴未标注年代与来源，该姓名的鉴定对其研究史至关重要，因此研究团队对这些关键位置进行了多光谱成像（Multispectral Imaging，MSI）。

本次多光谱成像（MSI）项目由柏林国立普鲁士文化遗产图书馆（Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz，简称SBB，机构编码：https://ror.org/02ysgg478）、手稿文化研究中心（Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures，简称CSMC）以及欧洲研究理事会（European Research Council，ERC）资助项目“高加索地区识字能力发展”（Development of Literacy in the Caucasian Territories，简称DeLiCaTe）联合主办。成像工作采用CSMC的MegaVision E7多光谱成像系统完成，系统操作由CSMC工作人员负责，卷轴的前期准备与处理由柏林国立普鲁士文化遗产图书馆文物保护部职员完成。（详见贡献者名单）

本数据集提供的sRGB色彩空间预览JPEG（Joint Photographic Experts Group，JPEG）图像均经过压缩，画质较低，仅用于快速预览。原始高质量的D50 CIELAB色域TIF（Tagged Image File Format，TIF）图像可在每个压缩包（ZIP）内的Color文件夹中获取。每个上传的ZIP压缩包均包含适用于图像处理的16位合并TIF图像（承载12位原始数据）以及8位JPEG图像，其中JPEG图像仅用于阅览。为缩减数据集整体体积，原始RAW图像未包含在本数据集中。RAW图像已存储于CSMC的内部服务器，如有合理需求可另行申请获取。关于文件名、文件夹结构以及多光谱成像系统的相关信息，请查阅"info"文件夹内的文件，并阅读《多光谱成像（MSI）数据集简要说明》（Brief Descriptions of Multispectral Imaging (MSI) Datasets）。

本数据集未进行任何图像处理操作。
