    The text written on the three scrolls is placed on a scroll, unopened for a long time. For this reason, photographing under a glass panel was difficult and even dangerous, as the instrument is fragile, showing cracks, therefore in danger of shattering with any maneuver. For these reasons, rolling was done in long stages, allowing time for the parchment to adapt, the method of stretching through steam baths being, in our opinion, dangerous. On the other hand, staying in the immediate vicinity of the artifact was impossible, due to the pungent, irritating smell perceived at the tip of the tongue and causing the so-called dry cough, with a tendency to vomit.

    The acute headache and dizziness persisted despite the fact that we worked with open windows in a spacious office, even though it was minus 6 degrees outside that day on January 28, 2023. The preparatory maneuvers could only be performed in a careful way, as there was a constant danger of „breaking” the manuscript, however unfortunate that expression might be.
