Those of you who read my first book will know that I am a Nepalese mountain hound from the Makalu region in the high Himalaya. You may be forgiven for asking the question: how on earth did a Nepalese dog come to be travelling to Chad in the Sahara desert?I needed a safe and easy way to get to one of the most remote parts of the world. I didn't want the hassle of getting a visa, yellow fever certificate, air tickets or food.How did I do it? Read on for more of my adventures
What does it mean to digitize a medieval manuscript? This book examines this question by exploring a range of advanced imaging technologies, from multispectral to 3D to reflectance transformation imaging. To understand imaging technologies requires an understanding of the complex materiality of what is being digitized and, to this end, the book focuses on the relationship between digital technologies and the complex materiality of manuscripts and the human bodies that engages them. From this perspective, the chapters explore imaging technologies, interfaces to present digital surrogates, and limitations to and enhancements through the digital. But lest past photographic information be lost, the book also examines historical photographs, exploring their rich visual information, and how digitizing and comparing them transforms what can be known. Examples and innovations from the author's work digitizing the eighth-century St. Chad Gospels at Lichfield Cathedral are provided. This book is essential reading for all those involved in large and small scale manuscript digitization projects in both scholarly and cultural heritage contexts.

"Flossie is in your bedroom, Dorothy," announced Claudia. "She has the cubicle near the fireplace." "If you're sleeping in the bed next to mine," said Flossie, eyeing Dorothy across the table with a rather patronizing air, "I sincerely hope you don't snore." "Of course not " responded Dorothy, in some indignation. "At St. Bride's," continued Flossie, "one of my room-mates snored atrociously. I used to have to get up and shake her, and pull the pillow from under her head, before I could go to sleep."
