Abstract
Image enhancement techniques from the space program are being adapted to the problem of reading partly illegible manuscripts. Most of the work has been done on a 14th century <i>Speculum Medicine by Arnald of Villanova. The eventual goal is to develop equipment specifically for museums and libraries. -- AATA
