A rare 750-year-old text on the legends of King Arthur was found in a 16th-century property record.

Researchers used advanced imaging techniques to create a virtual copy of the binding, allowing them to digitally unfold the rare text without having to take it apart.

The text is from the Suite Vulgate du Merlin, a part of the Vulgate Cycle that recounts events after King Arthur ’s coronation.
