This is a project at the forefront of the emerging use of digital technology to render legible manuscripts long regarded as unreadable. The unique fourth century codex, now housed at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin Castle, has been known of since 1929. The latest developments in image enhancement, especially the pseudocolour technique, offer the first chance for an international team led from the University of Sydney to read and publish the text. Its contents record discussions about religion, human nature and the natural world held by sages from East and West at the court of the Persian king; and illuminate the dynamic cultural interchange between India and the Mediterranean world that characterised late antiquity.

这是一个处于新兴使用数字技术使长期被认为不可读的手稿变得清晰的最前沿的项目。 这部独特的世纪手抄本，现藏于都柏林城堡的切斯特·比蒂图书馆，自1929年以来就已为人所知。 图像增强的最新发展，特别是伪彩色技术，为悉尼大学领导的国际团队提供了阅读和出版文本的第一次机会。 它的内容记录了来自东方和西方的圣人在波斯国王的宫廷中举行的关于宗教，人性和自然世界的讨论;并阐明了印度和地中海世界之间的动态文化交流，这是古代晚期的特征。
