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.
