A friend sent me this e-mail. The article is an interesting read with many details, and rather long.
There is also a presentation on March 16, 2024 at the Getty Villa near Malibu California.
It is FREE but tickets required. https://www.getty.edu/visit/cal/events/ev_4074.html
"Check out this project to digitally "unroll" a library of

build a high resolution 3D model, faint ink patterns can be revealed
and decoded. Amazing.
