Authors and co-authors 343 Antonia Malissa Dipl.-Ing. Antonia Malissa, BSc, received her BSc in Technical Chemistry from the Tech- nical University of Vienna in 2015. She completed the subsequent Master programme in Technical Chemistry at the same university in 2017. Her diploma thesis was part of the Vi- enna Genesis project, focusing on the artificial ageing of samples of parchment and silver inks and further analyses of parchment, silver inks and miniature paintings by means of the MHT method, ED µ XRF analysis and Py-GC/MS. She is currently a PhD student in Technical Chemistry in the Research Group for Mass spectrometric Bio- and Polymer An- alytics at the Technical University of Vienna, working on the mass spectrometric analysis of the degradation of collagen in parchment.

This methodology is tested on the study of medieval manuscripts from different ambiances. Recently she has also started working on a project funded by FCT, Polyphenols in Art, regarding the identification of the complexes of iron-gall inks and selection of natural sources for yellow dyes in Portugal.
