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.
