Seller's Description:
Near Fine. Book Octavo, softcover, near fine in bright yellow and orange decorative wraps. 305 pp. including index. unmarked. In 1998 a battered manuscript was won at auction for two million dollars by an anonymous buyer. It was a palimpsest-a book that was made from the pages stripped from earlier works where the earlier words were scrapped off and a new text was written over it. This was common practice in medieval times when paper was a valuable commodity. The book that was purchased was a simple thirteenth-century payer book. However, that is not what made the book valuable. The real value was the faint impressions of the much older tenth-century writing buried underneath it. It was the earliest writing of perhaps the greatest mathematicians in history-Archimedes.
