Conservation of a Fourteenth-Century Liturgical Manuscript

This project considers issues of conservation with Barnard MS 01, a fourteenth-century antiphonal currently held at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University. Although Barnard 1 is relatively well-preserved, there are nonetheless areas which have experienced degradation and decay, as would be expected of any 700-year old object.
