Wie liest man ein zweitausend Jahre altes Manuskript, welches ausradiert, zerschnitten, überschrieben und übermalt wurde? Mit einem mächtigen Teilchenbeschleuniger natürlich! Handschriften-Konservator William Noel erzählt die faszinierende Geschichte des Archimedes-Palimpsests, einem byzantinischen Gebetbuch, welches bisher unbekannte Originaltexte des griechischen Mathematikers Archimdes und anderen enthält.

William Noel is a curator who believes museums should make their collections free and available on the Internet. Full bio »
