We build together
” The Early Manuscripts Electronic Library (EMEL) occupies a truly special place in the world of manuscript imaging. EMEL goes beyond simply capturing images—it pioneers groundbreaking solutions for some of the most complex challenges in the field. Whether working with highly damaged manuscripts or imaging vast collections, EMEL consistently pushes the boundaries of what is possible. Its innovative methodologies and commitment to excellence continue to inspire and redefine best practices in manuscript imaging worldwide. “
” My work with EMEL to image a complex manuscript in multiple locations was key for our project, enabling us to identify over 40 pages of lost text through ink transfer. EMEL was professional, generous, and capable, going above and beyond in many respects. I am actively looking for ways to work with them in the future. “
” EMEL’s multispectral images of palimpsests have played a crucial role in my research, leading to the rediscovery of lost ancient texts such as Hipparchus’ Star Catalogue, Claudius Ptolemy’s treatise On the Meteoroscope, and the Verona fragments of the « New Apuleius ». I admire their ability to consistently achieve the highest quality of manuscript images, while pushing back the frontiers of technology through constant innovation. They play a unique, transformative role in the study of early manuscripts, not only by establishing new standards of excellence, but also by sharing their knowledge and expertise with libraries and academic institutions the world over. “
