You might think you know what you ve got in a palimpsest. But of course you can t know until you can actually read it. When a group of people started to try to read the Archimedes Palimpsest, they thought they were digging up the ghost of a mathematician. But actually they dug up a philosopher and an orator, and set the scholarly world on fire. Join Dr Will Noel for this talk which takes a closer look at the Archimedes Palimpsest and the man behind it. A Q&A with Will and Dr Suzanne Paul, Keeper of Manuscripts and University Archives at Cambridge University Library, will follow his presentation.
