Subject: Re: 17.088 an image-enhancement manual?
The best experiments, to my knowledge, have been done by
Fotoscientifica Re.co.rd, a small very specialized firm
based in Parma (Emilia, Italy), in collaboration with teams
of scholars and archive people.
You may consult their web page:

which has also an English version.
On the other hand, I think that what Chiara Faraggiana di
Sarzana writes, prefacing the publication of one such
experiment, is very true: [my translation] Our experiment
has confirmed once more the peculiarity of the material
of EACH palimpsest folio. It is manifestly impossible to
propose one technique universally valid, and applicable
with similar results to every kind of manuscript.
