Résumé En

The options for aqueous treatments on highly damaged papers are limited by a substantial risk of mechanical damage, which leads to a paradoxical situation in the case of manuscripts corroded by iron gall ink: the phytatetreatment, its effectiveness clearly established, is not used on the most damaged of papers. The possiblephytate treatment of severely damaged papers has been investigated on laboratory samples and originals(Rouchon et al 2012), which led to the formulation of a protocol relatively easy to implement that includeswashing, treatment and lining. This protocol, presented here, could easily be extended to aqueous treatmentsnot using calcium phytate. The process below does not include the preparation of the treatment solutions;this can be found elsewhere (Reissland and Ligterink 2011).
