| Zusammenfassung | The qualitative and quantitative investigation of historical iron gall inks using μ-XRF is a suitable method to analyze composition fingerprints of different ink types. The quantitative analysis is based on a model that takes into account the inhomogeneity and the layer structure of archaeometrical samples. Starting from these composition fingerprints, it is possible to characterize distinguishable inks of one artist to classify different chronological ink types and, furthermore, to date unknown fragments that have not been integrated into the lifework of an artist until now. First qualitative and quantitative investigations on the manuscript ‘Faust I and II’ and on the music composition ‘The Magic Flute’ demonstrate impressively the identification of J. W. v. Goethe’s and W. A. Mozart’s artistic work with modern scientific methods. Further investigations on A. v. Arnim’s manuscript ‘Studien zu Naturwissenschaften’ provide evidence that the diversity of various degradation mechanisms of iron gall inks could be mainly caused by different inorganic compositions. |
