What the Fire in the Library of Alexandria Didn’t Get
This section leads you to the real thing: digitised manuscripts and inscriptions of ancient scientific texts, as preserved in libraries, museums, and archives worldwide. From papyrus fragments and inked codices to carved epigraphs and clay tablets, these are the sources before the sources.
No commentary. No translation. Just ink, clay, stone, parchment — and centuries of transmission.
