| Abstract: | The exhibit Cod.gr.67 is a half-leather strap from the 19th century. It contains a printed textual element and 36 original papyrus fragments, which were used instead of images. This work presents three possible and very different restoration concepts. The first and second concepts focus on purely on conservation and restoration, whereas the third concept introduces prevention by the means of manufacturing facsimiles. All concept follow the conservation-restoration ethics. This work presents and discusses the conducted measures. The main challenge in finding the concepts was given by the uniqueness of the object as flexible paper sheets do not provide a suitable storage for fragile papyri. |
