| description | Abstract
The conservation treatment of a 15,h century Mamluk manuscript decorated in a manner suitable to the period is considered in three parts. First, with the goal of establishing the manuscript’s technical and material characteristics, a “definiti-on” is made; second, under the heading “the pre-conservation condition", the damage observed in the object and its causes are researched; finally, “the conservation treatments” carried out on the object are explained. The history of prophets, written in black and red ink on handmade paper, is explained in the manuscript. The object’s covers and envelope flap are made of laminated paper bo-ard covered with goat leather. Some of the kinds of damage observed in the object were: The binding and text block were on the point of separating from each other; it suffered considerable losses because of the “jengar” (copper containing pigments) on the object’s pages; old restorations had lost their function. During conservation treatment, in the work undertaken separately on the binding and text block, consolidation, filling and mending was done. Guided by macro and micro examinations, this conservation work was carried out in the laboratory of Ankara University, BaQkent Vocational School. |
