William Noel：揭秘阿基米德失落的手抄本

我们如何阅读一份被擦去、剪开、表面覆有其它文字和图案的两千岁高龄手稿呢？用强大的粒子加速器，当然没问题！古书守护者William Noel与我们分享一本拜占庭祈祷书背后引人入胜的故事：这本书隐藏着从未面世过的希腊数学家阿基米德手稿以及其他珍贵文本。

A medieval prayer book, created by erasing and rewriting over seven older manuscripts, concealed groundbreaking work by Archimedes and other ancient thinkers for 700 years. Using advanced imaging and even particle accelerators, researchers recovered forgotten texts, including the earliest study of combinatorics and a lost speech by Hyperides. All their findings were made freely available online, challenging the tradition of keeping rare manuscripts locked away. Accessibility, not exclusivity, makes ancient knowledge thrive in the modern world.
