Comment pouvons-nous lire un manuscrit d’il y a 2000 ans qui a été effacé, coupé, sur lequel on a écrit ou peint ? Avec un puissant accélérateur de particules, bien sûr ! Le conservateur de livres anciens William Noel nous raconte la fascinante histoire du Palimpseste d'Archimède, un livre de prières byzantin qui contient des écritures jusqu’à présent inconnues de l’ancien mathématicien grec Archimède et d’autres.

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