That sounds like a fascinating way to bring a dusty 15th‑century manuscript into the digital age, almost as if the past were breathing through a new medium. I love the idea of preserving the original in its physical form while letting scholars and collectors verify its authenticity in real time. But I’d worry about making sure every provenance detail is captured accurately—high‑resolution scans, chemical fingerprints, even the smell of the parchment if we could digitise that. And the trade of “authenticity tokens” should feel like a scholarly exchange, not a market frenzy. Still, it’s a brilliant bridge between the tactile past and the intangible future.

That’s the sort of rigor I’d want to see—every detail measured, every chemical fingerprint catalogued, even the parchment’s aroma captured before it fades. If the marketplace stays a scholarly forum, peer‑reviewed and vetted, then it won’t be a speculative bubble but a sustainable support system for preservation. I can see how that would give historians a new way to fund research while keeping the integrity of the originals intact. It feels like a modern archive, just with a digital pulse.
