Researchers have deciphered a long-lost text written by the ancient astronomer Claudius Ptolemy.
Researchers have deciphered an ancient manuscript that they think Claudius Ptolemy, an Egyptian mathematician and astronomer of Greek descent, penned during the first century A.D.
Now, a team of researchers from Sorbonne University in Paris and New York University has deciphered much of the mysterious text and revealed its contents. They detailed their work in a study published March 9 in the journal Archive for History of Exact Sciences . The researchers needed a way to get an optimized view of the text, since"it was essentially impossible to read more than just a few isolated words on these particular pages," Jones said. So they turned to a method called multispectral imaging.
