SUMMARY:Fragments of Greek Science in a Palimpsest from Bobbio
DTSTART:20180222T230000Z
DTEND:20180223T003000Z
DESCRIPTION:In 1819 Angelo Mai discovered that on several pages of an 
 8th century codex of Isidore of Seville's "Etymologies" in the Ambrosi
 ana Library in Milan\, the Latin text was written over partially effac
 ed scientific texts in Greek. With the exception of Ptolemy's "Analemm
 a," which we have in a 13th century Latin translation by William of Mo
 erbeke\, none of the Greek texts in the Milan palimpsest survive in an
 y other copy\, and their authors are unknown. This lecture will retrac
 e the rather sad story of this manuscript\, explore what we can learn 
 from the texts\, and consider the prospects of recovering more of them
  from the many pages that have so far been very incompletely transcrib
 ed.
