Summary:

"The five-year collaboration is the largest effort of its kind to recover erased or obscured information from historical source material. Seventy-four palimpsests totaling some 6,800 pages in 10 languages contain erased layers of writing from the fifth to the 12th centuries. They are accessible to students, scholars and the public at sinaipalimpsests.org."
