Thom reviewed The Archimedes Codex by Reviel Netz
Review of 'The Archimedes Codex' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A very good history of a unique manuscript. A bit of accessible mathematics, hidden history, and textual criticism thrown in make this a good read; both authors lack of writing experience do detract a little. After this I read on wikipedia that this story continues; I almost wish the book had been delayed a few more years.
