Lecture 507 (16 June 2008)

Lecture 482 (27 June 2005)

Lecture 455 (6 August 2001)

Presenters talk about what happened on the Palimpsest Project in the course of the weekend and answer general questions in the concluding lecture of “Archimedes Revealed,” a public colloquium hosted by the UNM Institute for Medieval Studies. The Archimedes Palimpsest is a 10th century manuscript that includes the only surviving copies of three key works by Archimedes, the greatest scientist of the ancient world.

Uwe Bergmann, senior staff scientist at Stanford University’s Linear Accelerator Center, discusses Archimedes’ legacy and the breakthrough in using powerful x-rays produced in a particle accelerator to read through the damage and paint on the Archimedes Palimpsest by detecting faint traces of the erased and covered iron-gall ink. The lecture is part of “Archimedes Revealed,” a public colloquium hosted by the UNM Institute for Medieval Studies. The Archimedes Palimpsest is a 10th century manuscript that includes the only surviving copies of three key works by Archimedes, the greatest scientist of the ancient world.

Jennifer Giaccai, conservation scientist at the Walters Art Museum, discusses forgeries consisting of pictures of the evangelists in a Byzantine style added to the Archimedes codex during the 20th century. The lecture is part of “Archimedes Revealed,” a public colloquium hosted by the UNM Institute for Medieval Studies. The Archimedes Palimpsest is a 10th century manuscript that includes the only surviving copies of three key works by Archimedes, the greatest scientist of the ancient world.

Roger L. Easton, Jr., an expert in the technology of digital imaging, describes how the optical imaging techniques used to read the erased text in the Archimedes Palimpsest have evolved as the project has progressed, driven by rapid advancement in technology, varying conditions of manuscript pages–many of which were severely damaged by mold and discoloration, quite apart from the effects of the text’s erasure–and by the needs of the scholarly community. The lecture is part of “Archimedes Revealed,” a public colloquium hosted by the UNM Institute for Medieval Studies. The Archimedes Palimpsest is a 10th century manuscript that includes the only surviving copies of three key works by Archimedes, the greatest scientist of the ancient world.

Michael B. Toth, president and chief technology officer of R. B. Toth Associates, discusses challenges faced in integrating various technologies and disciplines of the Archimedes Palimpsest Project to produce a digital product that meets the needs of scholars, scientists and the public. He considers some of the antecedents for the technologies used, looking at products used for research in outer space and for remote sensing as well as within the information technology field. The lecture is part of “Archimedes Revealed,” a public colloquium hosted by the UNM Institute for Medieval Studies. The Archimedes Palimpsest is a 10th century manuscript that includes the only surviving copies of three key works by Archimedes, the greatest scientist of the ancient world.

William Noel, curator of manuscripts and rare books at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, and director of the Archimedes Palimpsest Project, presents the opening lecture of “Archimedes Revealed,” a public colloquium hosted by the UNM Institute for Medieval Studies. The Archimedes Palimpsest is a 10th century manuscript that includes the only surviving copies of three key works by Archimedes, the greatest scientist of the ancient world.

The 10th century “Archimedes Palimpsest” is the unique source for two of the great Greek's treatises. Some of the writings, hidden under gold forgeries, have recently been revealed at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory at SLAC.
