Mysterious doodles in ancient manuscripts
quote:
Centuries-old books, manuscripts and printing plates often contain invisible etchings, mysterious letters – and even doodles. A new technology that maps the surface of these objects is bringing them to light.

Fascinating!

Who will be the first to share a piano recording of this piece?

At first I thought that they were probably etchings when someone wrote on paper laid on top of it. An accident. But after looking at more pictures, that definitely has to be intentional!

I want to hear that music…

I was thinking the same thing, and perhaps some are an "accident," but probably not most.

Soooo amazing. I love learning about stuff like this!
