EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Archimedes Palimpsest" a remarkable piece of art created by the Greek School. Measuring 19.5x15 cm, this pen and ink on vellum masterpiece is currently held in a private collection, making it an exclusive treasure to behold. Originally a Byzantine codex dating back to around 950 AD, this extraordinary work is believed to be a copy of an unknown text by the renowned ancient mathematician, physicist, and engineer Archimedes. However, in 1229, the original codex underwent significant alterations as it was unbound, scraped clean, washed thoroughly and overwritten with Christian liturgical content. Within its pages lie profound wisdom encompassing various disciplines such as physics and mathematics. The intricate spiral lines and meticulously written scientific treatises transport us back to Ancient Greece's intellectual prowess. From measurements of circles to equilibrium of planes and even the study of floating bodies - these invaluable insights into classical knowledge are preserved within this medieval manuscript. "The Archimedes Palimpsest" stands as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Its presence evokes admiration for the ingenuity that once thrived during Byzantine times while also serving as a reminder of our continuous quest for knowledge across centuries. Through this photograph captured by eChristies Images courtesy of Bridgeman Images (not affiliated with any commercial use), we are granted access to glimpse at this extraordinary relic from afar – inviting us into its world where science meets spirituality in perfect harmony.
