qn about archim. palimpsest

Post by chad »

hi, i've seen twice now a documentary about the archimedes palimpsest, how after it was sold at auction in 1998 they've been doing extensive analysis on it to produce a better version.

does anyone know if a new version has come out? i couldn't tell straight away from the official website:

thanks :)

Could I ask why you would want to read a book on ancient Greek geometry? :)


Anyway, everything on that website uses the future tense. I suspect that it's not finished yet.
