The Archimedes Palimpsest project was a multi-year project to conserve, image, and transcribe the texts from a Byzantine prayer book that was written over a number of earlier manuscripts, including one that contained two unique works by Archimedes, the ancient Greek mathematician, astronomer, and engineer. A fantastic resource for classists, scholars, and conservationists alike.
