Correction to: Herit Sci (2018) 6:10 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-018-0176-3

After the publication of the original article [1], the authors realized several typographical errors, which are listed with the corrected version as follows:

  1. 1.

    In “Methods/experimental” section

    • The unit µm should be mm in diameter

    • The wrong version was:

    • The available instrument is a portable Bruker ALPHA FTIR-spectrometer [27] with a spot size of approximately 4 µm in diameter.

    • The correct version is:

    • The available instrument is a portable Bruker ALPHA FTIR-spectrometer [27] with a spot size of approximately 4 mm in diameter.

  2. 2.

    In “Results and discussion” section, in Table 1, red lead was written incorrectly (red led) and has been updated in this erratum.

    Table 1 Identified pigments in the illuminations of the investigated manuscripts
  3. 3.

    In “Codex Millenarius Minor” section

    • The reference to the codex was wrong. The wrong version was:

    • The combination of XRF and rFTIR spectrometry yielded to slightly different materials in comparison to cod. MMI, due to the fact that rFTIR and Raman spectroscopies use different absorption properties.

    • This has been corrected to:

    • The combination of XRF and rFTIR spectrometry yielded to slightly different materials in comparison to cod. MMA, due to the fact that rFTIR and Raman spectroscopies use different absorption properties.
