Ohayo GakuseiDon and all :) Just had a Jungian gold-bug moment which I thought I'd share - Around the time I caught this thread, I was also looking into the Song of Roland , (an epic poem about a battle from Charlemagne's time, but written a few centuries later, just before the first Holy Grail lite...

Now since you caught me how about telling us what method is acceptable to you? :cheeky: No worries, mistakes happen :) I'm just a...

Gday all, If you have a breed of animal used for the vellum that did not exist in the 4th century then you have a case for fraud. If the ink has DNA of a plant not known to the region at the time, then you have fraud. There are many variables and scenarios. Yup :) But you brought up the subject of D...

Gday Ben C. Smith and all :) I have no expert knowledge of this matter, but I have found a number of articles suggesting that DNA dating of parchment has been in development for at least a decade. For example: https://www.livescience.com/3300-dna-reveal-origins-medieval-manuscripts.html . I have no ...
