Archimedes Palimpsest 2 Volume Set Netz Reviel Stanford University California
The Archimedes Palimpsest is the name given to a Byzantine prayer book that was written over a number of earlier manuscripts, including one that contained two unique works by Archimedes, unquestionably the greatest mathematician of antiquity. In Volume 1 the scientists, conservators, classicists, and historians involved in the project discuss in full their techniques and their discoveries. Sold at auction in 1998, it has since been the subject of a privately funded project to conserve, image, and transcribe its texts.
Volume 2 contains a complete set of colour images and transcriptions of the most important manuscripts that constitute the Palimpsest. These include new speeches by the classical Athenian orator Hyperides, a lost commentary on Aristotle's Categories from the second or third century AD, and substantial re-readings and reinterpretations of the works by Archimedes. The volumes will be of interest to manuscript scholars, conservators, classicists, and historians of science.
