“All that we See is Vision”: William Blake’s Four Zoas Manuscript and Multispectral Imaging (MSI)
摘要
This chapter offers a case study of the Blake Archive’s recent collaborative enterprise in multispectral imaging with the British Library and the Lazarus Project. Through this project, the Blake Archive has begun to incorporate multispectral imaging in the development of a new kind of digital scholarly edition. Such an edition leverages the interactivity of web-based design along with the expanded vision of imaging science to create a digital model that balances the editorial goals of “readability” and “reliability” in previously unattainable ways. Our discussion ultimately focuses on the methods of our project and the potential of spectral imaging for the editorial field as a whole.
