1 Introduction

The purpose of this document is to make clear which texts appear on which folios of the Archimedes Palimpsest, and, where possible, to indicate the folio sequence of each text. This document also lists all the Archimedes Palimpsest folios included in the data set, organized by author and work, undertext folio, and prayer book folio.

1.1 2011 amendments

Since 2008, scholars have learned more about the non-Archimedes content of the palimpsest. New texts have been identified, and misattributions of some of the texts have been discovered. This has led to changes to the abbreviations for the textual content of the underlying manuscripts. These changes are used in the Archimedes Palimpsest print catalog (Reviel Netz, William Noel, Natalie Tchernetska, Nigel Wilson, eds. The Archimedes Palimpsest. 2 vols. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2011).

Although there are new content designations for the folios, the names of the image files and supporting metadata have not been changed in this data set. Data added to the set since 2011 conforms with information in the print publication.

The final section of this document describes the nomenclature used in the 2011 print publication and provides a concordance between the 2008 and 2011 folio designations.

2 The Folios in the data set

This data set consists of evidence of texts that were palimpsested in the thirteenth century to make a prayer book, or Euchologion. This prayer book is commonly known as the Archimedes Palimpsest. In total there is evidence for 177 palimpsest folios, and the evidence is listed below.

  1. Digital Images of the Archimedes Palimpsest, now in private hands. The Archimedes Palimpsest currently consists of 174 parchment folios, and a single gathering of eight paper folios, added at a later date. The parchment leaves are foliated 1-177 in a modern hand. Folios 104, 123, and 170 are currently missing. Only the parchment folios are palimpsest, and images of all of the extant folios are in the current data set. The paper folios, which have neither foliation nor pagination, have not been been included in this data set.
  2. Digital images of analog images of the manuscript, taken at various times in the twentieth century. This includes images that were taken in Constantinople in 1906 at the request of Johan Ludwig Heiberg, the originals of which are in the Royal Library Copenhagen, Ms. Phot. 38. The Heiberg photographs include folios of the palimpsest that have subsequently been excised from the manuscript and are currently missing. These are included in the data set foliation. These are fol. 123, recto and verso, and fol. 170 recto.
  3. Digital Images of a single leaf of the Archimedes Palimpsest, excised before it was foliated, and now Cambridge University Library Ms. 1879.23. These will be included in the candidate release of this data set.
  4. The only evidence extant for folios 104 and 170v of the manuscript is transcription of the undertext that was seen on them by Johan Ludwig Heiberg between 1906 and 1911. Included in the final release of this data set will be new transcriptions based upon Heiberg’s, by Netz and Wilson.

3 The texts in the data set

The Euchologion known as the Archimedes Palimpsest contains several palimpsest codices.

  1. It contains seven treatises by Archimedes, and it forms Codex C in Heiberg’s 1910-15 edition of Archimedes; these seven treatises are Equilibrium of Planes, Spiral Lines, The Measurement of the Circle, Sphere and Cylinder, On Floating Bodies, The Method of Mechanical Theorems, and the Stomachion.
  2. It contains fragments of two speeches by Hyperides, Against Diondas and Against Timandros.
  3. It contains fragments of a philosophical text which has been provisionally identified as Alexander of Aphrodisias, Commentary on Aristotle’s categories.
  4. It contains fragments from a Life of St. Pantoleon.
  5. It contains fragments from a Menaion.
  6. It contains fragments from an unidentified text (Unknown A).
  7. It contains fragments from a second, distinct unidentified text (Unknown B).

4 The foliation of the data set

The Euchologion was foliated in the second half of the Nineteenth Century in red Arabic numerals, at the top right of each folio. This data set presents images of the Euchologion in a disbound state. Hence, when the Euchologion folios are not singletons, they are presented as conjoint folios. Thus it is usually the case that a single image of the Euchologion will reference two folio numbers.

There is no evidence in the manuscript for the separate foliation of the palimpsested texts. Foliations for each of the palimpsested undertexts have been assigned for the purposes of this data set. The texts are identified by abbreviations. The abbreviations used are:

  • Alex -- Alexander of Aphrodisias' Commentary on Aristotle's Categories
  • Arch -- Archimedes
  • Hype -- Hyperides
  • Mena -- Menaion
  • Pant -- The Life of St. Pantoleon
  • UnkA -- Unknown text A
  • UnkB -- Unknown text B

In each case the folios are presented in the data set with the undertext reading from the top to the bottom of the image.

8 Concordance of 2008 and 2011 folio designations

This section provides a folio-by-folio cross-walk between 2008 and 2011 undertext nomenclature. As noted above, the print publication uses a set of abbreviations that reflect an updated understanding of the textual content of the palimpsest undertexts.

The publication uses this set of abbreviations:

  • Arch -- Archimedes
  • Hype -- Hyperides
  • Comm -- Philosophical commentary (formerly Alex)
  • Mena -- Menaion
  • Hagi -- Hagiographical text (formerly Pant and UnkA)
  • UnkY -- Unknown text 'Y' (folios of the former UnkB)
  • UnkZ -- Unknown text 'Z' (a folio of the former UnkB)

Changes:

Hagi
The hagiographical text was previously identified as the Life of St. Pantoleon and given the abbreviation Pant; also, the folios of the text previously called Unknown A were discovered to be a part of this document.
Comm
The philosophical commentary was thought to be the work of Alexander of Aphrodisias and was given the abbreviation Alex. This attribution was found to be uncertain, and so the new designation Comm, for commentary, is now used.
UnkY, UnkZ
The text called Unknown B was found to contain not one unidentified manuscripts, but two, now designated UnkY and UnkZ

The following tables give folio-by-folio crosswalks between the 2008 and 2011 designations of the undertexts.
