- macintuxI have had the experience of serendipitous discovery when researching relatively recent history. To find Galileo’s handwriting 400 years later, effectively engaging in both agreement and debate with Ptolemy through the latter’s work… even though he specifically was looking for it, it still must have been surreal.
- gignicoIt’s unbelievable how that 16th century book looks like it is written in LaTeX. Or plain TeX, probably, given its age XD
- behnamohThat's not "ancient". That word often means thousand(s) of years ago.
- ffsm8Not particularly important, but the title adding "handwritten" implies that they had non-handwritten notes too...
- mrose11What a wild find. Good for the historian.
- ocean2Galileo Galilei, and yet people still refer to him by his firstname alone. It's painful to read.It is, as if we refer to Isaac and Albert when speaking about Gravity and Relativity.
