News stories on the Cambridge Merlin fragment project

With just one day before our talk for the 2025 Cambridge festival, we are delighted that the story of the Merlin fragment has been picked up in two news stories. You can read more about it in BBC Future: The magical medieval tale revealed by a hi-tech camera focuses on the Merlin story and explores the imaging techniques used in the project.

A second article, the University of Cambridge story Modern Magic Unlocks Merlin’s Medieval Secrets showcases and contextualises some of the digitisations, 3D models, and animations produced throughout the project (all are now available on Cambridge Digital Library).

We hope you enjoy reading these pieces, and there is still a chance to sign up for the presentation tomorrow!
