Hoe lees je een tweeduizend jaar oud manuscript dat is uitgewist, in stukken gesneden, overschreven en overschilderd? Met een krachtige deeltjesversneller, natuurlijk! William Noël, curator van oude boeken, vertelt het fascinerende verhaal achter de Archimedespalimpsest, een Byzantijns gebedenboek met voorheen onbekende originele geschriften van de oude Griekse wiskundige Archimedes en anderen.

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