   Funnily I litery just finished reading The Archimedes Codex by Reviel Nets and William Noel this evening. I highly recommend it. Part detective story, part rediscovery. Very easy to read.

   There's a book (I believe it is "The Archimedes Codex : Revealing The Secrets Of The World's Greatest Palimpsest" by William Noel and Reviel Netz), that I read many years ago exactly about this topic. In the book they describe that they used a similar approach to the one used for the vesuvius challenge: they x-rayed the whole palimpsest and then looked for imprints below the pages for traces of the original treat that was copied by a previous scribe. Very interesting read.
