NEH-BSF: revealing hidden texts of manuscript fragments in medieval spanish book bindings using terahertz imaging [in this planning international collaboration project collaborators at the georgia institute of technology and at bar-ilan university will carry out discussions related to our nascent collaboration on the application of terahertz imaging to locate and read manuscript & nbsp; fragments in medieval jewish books. Scrap paper and parchment were valuable and frequently recycled in the & nbsp; middle & nbsp; ages. Old manuscripts and books were cut into fragments that were then incorporated into book bindings rather than destroyed.  a large source of such book waste & nbsp; was & nbsp; jewish books. Projects going forward will concentrate on books in catalonia, spain. The project will involve discussions with our partner institutions & nbsp; of & nbsp; how to manage the ongoing collaboration moving in the direction of work on actual medieval books and materials and how the approaches employed to date will be applied to future research. Under this project, we will also examine available materials in archives in catalonia.]
