[Talk] Upcoming public lecture on the VM

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Ok, people, here's my Univ. of Toronto Medieval Studies lecture!

Great lecture, Lisa! (In spite of what you said about Asian languages...   )

I look forward especially to the original order of the Stars section folios.

You mentioned a group who is trying to determine the original order of the bifolios by matching the water stains along the top edge.  If they are using the BL 2014 images, I hope they are aware that they are not at the same resolution.

At least that is the case for the "full size" JPEG images available through the website.  In particular, the images of some fold-outs have lower resolution than the rest.  If not corrected, these differences could ruin the matching of the stains.

I once downloaded a "full size original"  TIFF image but found it to be identical to the "full size" JPEG, with all the JPEG artifacts and all, only much bigger.  But it probably was a single-page image.  Maybe the multi-page TIFFs are truly full size, I don't know.

All the best, --jorge
