Abstract

[Any discussion of Archimedes in the twenty-first century imagination must reach backward into the twentieth, because so much recent work arises from or responds to the sale of the codex containing the Archimedes Palimpsest at Christie’s in New York, on October 28, 1998, and its installation in the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore in 1999. The years since have seen the publication of the palimpsest by Reviel Netz and Nigel Wilson and the rest of their team; images are online, as is a transcription of the text [1]. In addition, Netz has published part of his ongoing project of translating Archimedes: three volumes are to come out of Cambridge University Press, the first of which, The Two Books on the Sphereand Cylinder, appeared in 2004. Netz has also written a three-part study of Mediterranean mathematics: The Shaping of Deduction in GreekMathematics (1999), The Transformation of Mathematics in the Early Mediterranean World: from Problems to Equations (2004), and Ludic Proof (2009). Finally, and firmly in the twenty-first century, an international conference on Archimedes held at Syracuse in June 2010 has resulted in a hefty volume of conference papers.
