XRF (Elio: 40kV, 80 µA, spot measurements of 90s each) and  reflectography (DinoLite: x50 magnification, vis, NIR and UV light) analysis of inks from Vatican Library Ms Vat. Gr. 244.

The Organon manuscript Città del Vaticano, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vat. Gr. 244 is a paper written by anonymous scribe in the 12th century. The scribe conceived the manuscript as his study manuscript. Together with the core content he wrote a dense paracontent. Over time, he enlarged that first block of paracontent by adding further exegetical notes.
