Herculaneum Papyri
From Epicurus Wiki
The Herculaneum Papyri is a collection of the remains of papyrus scrolls discovered at the archeological site of the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum. They are stored at the National Library, Naples. The scrolls are badly carbonized, but a large number have been unrolled, with varying degrees of success. Computer-enhanced multi-spectral imaging, in the infra-red range, helps make the ink legible. There is now a real prospect that it will be possible to read the unopened scrolls using X-rays.[1]. [2]
