It was rebuildt a signature that may belong to Shakespeare


Researchers using high technology of photography, rebuilt a firm that may belong to William Shakespeare - or perhaps a clever forger.

It is not yet known that the firm "Wm Shakespeare" on the entire face of the legal title of the treaty "Archaionomia", which is a collection of Saxon laws published during the reign of Elizabeth I of England, contains the authenticity of Shakespeare. It can never be clear, says Gregory Heyworth, a professor of English at the University of Mississippi.

But now, Heyworth and his students have used new technology to detect siglaturen almost lost in vjetër.Puna book, part of the Lazarus Project, is an attempt to revive damaged texts using a technique called "multispectral image ".

Researchers take photographs with very high rezolution from old texts or objects, using 12 different wavelengths of light ranging from ultraviolet to infrared, beyond the human eye. Next, they use software to combine these images in the photo, by clarifying in a higher level texts.

In this way, scientists can reconstruct the stories that have been deleted on the switches, external scratches, signatures or even damage from water, says Professor Gregory Heyworth on LiveScience. For example, last year, Project Lazarus përdoruri this technology to discover five new poetry writer William Faulkner, from a collection that was damaged by fire.
