The Herculaneum scrolls are a collection of carbonized papyri recovered from the Villa of the Papyri in the town of Herculaneum. This particular scroll, PHerc118, was physically opened and mounted for display. It is currently housed at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, United Kingdom.
PHerc118 been photographed three times, in whole or in part, starting in 1998. However, due to the differences in imaging equipment over the years, a direct comparison of these images has been difficult. This Registered Image Viewer aims to solve that problem. Every image of PHerc118 in this viewer has been digitally aligned and our unique Flashlight tool allows for the clear, direct comparison of these beautiful pages across time.
We hope you enjoy this wonderful document and our viewer!
