T1 - Combining codicology and X-ray spectrometry to unveil the history of production of codex germanicus 6 (Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg) N2 - The investigation of physical properties and chemical composition generates important data for answering cultural-history questions that cannot be solved by historical and philological methods alone. In its individual materiality, each manuscript is the result of a wide variety of influences. The ‘life’ of a manuscript starts with its production, followed by the use and storage of the manuscript, and is finally characterized by its treatment during restoration. Some of these characteristics are still in existence and may provide insights into the production process and history of a manuscript.

T1 - Advanced codicological studies of Cod. germ. 6 (Hamburg, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek): Part 2 N2 - The work presented here follows the article Combining Codicology and X-Ray Spectrometry to Unveil the History of Production of Codex germanicus 6 (Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg), published in 2014.1 It confirms the main result of the previous article: the Artusnotiz, the fourth text in the bound manuscript, must have been introduced as the last one. This paper offers further details of the codex production, based on the composition of the black and red inks collected in four measurement campaigns. Furthermore, using imaging μ-XRF, we succeeded in understanding the strong variation of the composition of the red inks in the initials of all the texts except for Parzival and Jeanne d’Arc.
