  • Some Observations on the Nature of Papyrus Bonding

    ]. Ethnobiol. 11(2):193-202 Winter 1991 SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURE OF PAPYRUS BONDING PETER E. SCORA Moreno Valley, CA 92360 and RAINER W. SCORA Department of Botany and Plant Sciences University of California Riverside, CA 92521 ABSTRACT.-Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus, Cyperaceae) was a multi-use plant in ancient Egypt. Its main use, however, was for the production of laminated leaves which served as writing material in the Mediterranean world for almost 5000 years. Being a royal monopoly, the manufacturing process was kept secret. PI~us Secundus, who first described this process, is unclear as to the adhesive forces bonding the individual papyrus strips together. Various authors of the past century advanced their own interpretation on bonding. The present authors believe that the natural juices of the papyrus strip are sufficient to bond the individual strips into a sheet, and that any additional paste used was for the sole purpose of pasting the individual dried papyrus sheets into a scroll. RESUMEN.-EI papiro (Cyperus papyrus, Cyperaceae) fue una planta de uso multiple en el antiguo Egipto. Su uso principal era la produccion de hojas lami­ nadas que sirvieron como material de escritura en el mundo meditarraneo durante casi 5000 anos. Siendo un monopolio real, el proceso de manufactura se mantema en secreto. Plinius Secundus, quien describio este proceso por primera vez, no deja claro que fuerzas adhesivas mantenlan unidas las tiras individuales de papiro. Diversos autores del siglo pasado propusieron sus propias interpretaciones respecto a la adhesion. Consideramos que los jugos naturales de las tiras de papiro son suficientes para adherir las tiras individuales y formar una hoja, y que cual­ quier pegamento adicional se usa unicamente para unir las hojas secas individuales para formar un rollo.

This paper highlights the types of manuscripts that are usually found in India and also the different initiatives adopted for cataloguing the Indian manuscripts. It focuses on the guidelines for storing and also handling of the manuscripts. Keywords: Manuscript, Cataloguing of Manuscripts, National Mission for Manuscripts, India, Storage, Handling I. INTRODUCTION Manuscript means old document which is written by hand. The word „Manuscript‟ is derived from the Latin phrase „manu scriptum‟ means „written by hand‟. The Antiquities Art Treasures Act 1972 defines manuscript „as a record of scientific, historical, literary or aesthetic value and which has been in existence for not less than 75 years.‟ A manuscript is a handwritten composition on paper, cloth, metal, bark of tree, palm leaf or any other material. In India manuscripts are written in various languages and scripts. The major manuscripts are found in Sanskrit language. The Sanskrit collection of Sarasvai Mahal is the largest manuscripts of India which contain the major works of Sanskrit literature beginning with the Vedas. These manuscripts were written in palm leaf and papers. II. MANUSCRIPTS IN INDIA In the ancient times the earlier method of transferring knowledge to new generation was oral i.e. through schools called gurukulas. But it was quite difficult on the part of the learners to remember all the teachings of their Gurus.

    Early Civilisations Learning Objective: To find out about the first writing systems. NEXT www.planbee.com How do we find out about the past? BACK NEXT www.planbee.com Before people invented ways of writing to record stories, facts and information, we had to rely on archaeological evidence to help us find out what life was like. The period before writing was used is called prehistory. These archaeologists are excavating a site in Egypt Archaeologists are historians who find out about the past by looking at what people have left behind. They do this by digging up objects from the ground and by looking at changes made to the ground, like the remains of buildings or city walls. BACK NEXT www.planbee.com We can find out a lot through archaeological evidence, such as where people lived, the kind of houses and buildings they built, the food they ate, the animals they kept and the objects they made but there are lots of things archaeology alone can’t tell us about the time before writing was invented. What kind of things can’t we find out about the past just from archaeological evidence? BACK NEXT www.planbee.com Did you think of these ideas? People’s names What laws people had People’s opinions to live by The stories people told What people looked like The gods people How society was worshipped organised BACK NEXT www.planbee.com The very first writing system in the world was invented by the Sumerians around 3300 BC. The first writing used pictures as words but over the next 200 years, these pictures became wedge-shaped symbols.

    Legibility Enhancement of Papyri Using Color Processing and Visual

    Personalizing image enhancement for critical visual tasks: improved legibility of papyri using color processing and visual illusions Vlad Atanasiu 1, 2 and Isabelle Marthot-Santaniello 1 University of Basel 1 and University of Fribourg 2, Switzerland, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Purpose: This article develops theoretical, algorithmic, perceptual, and interaction aspects of script legibility enhancement in the visible light spectrum for the purpose of scholarly editing of papyri texts. — Methods: Novel legibility enhancement algorithms based on color processing and visual illusions are compared to classic methods in a user experience experiment. — Results: (1) The proposed methods outperformed the comparison methods. (2) Users exhibited a broad behavioral spec- trum, under the influence of factors such as personality and social conditioning, tasks and application domains, expertise level and image quality, and affordances of software, hardware, and interfaces. No single enhancement method satisfied all factor configurations. Therefore, it is suggested to offer users a broad choice of methods to facilitate personalization, contextualization, and complementarity. (3) A distinction is made between casual and critical vision on the basis of signal ambiguity and error consequences. The criteria of a paradigm for enhancing images for critical applications comprise: in- terpreting images skeptically; approaching enhancement as a system problem; considering all image structures as potential information; and making

Record keeping and communication demanded something beyond symbols and pictures to represent the spoken word. This gallery explores the early writing systems of four ancient civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and Mesoamerica. Here you’ll also learn about the Rosetta Stone, the 19th-century discovery that gave scholars the key that unlocked the language of ancient Egypt. Why were writing systems developed? Communication – Sounds and speech needed to be visually represented. Correspondence – There was a desire to send notes, letters, and instructions. Recording – Bookkeeping tasks became important for counting crops, paying workers’ rations, and collecting taxes. Preservation – Personal stories, rituals, religious texts, hymns, literature, and history all needed to be recorded. Why did some writing systems disappear? Change – Corresponding cultures died out or were absorbed by others. Innovation – Newer, simpler systems replaced older systems. Conquest – Invaders or new rulers imposed their own writing systems. New Beginnings – New ways of writing developed with new belief systems.
