Examining an astrological scroll (III 520) from Turfan, 9th century. Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Humboldt Forum. Several researchers are taking an interest in this object!

We are honored to see the project featuring so prominently in this discussion of A. Tunç Şen's (a member of our research team) magnificent book on astrology: New Book Forgotten Experts and Grant-Funded Project "GHOST" iserp.columbia.edu/news/new-book-…

Looking at all these reds and yellows, I wonder if these are made with mercury sulfide and arsenic sulfide.

Together with the Oxford Bibliography of Byzantine Science (DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780195396584-0338) and the Zotero Byzantine Science bibliography (zotero.org/groups/5126392…) I hope it will serve anyone interested in including Byzantium in their teaching or research.
