Subject: Archimedes in the fifteenth century
Some members of this list may be interested in an article in what is,
from the point of view of history of science, a rather out of the way
journal:
James R. Banker, 'A manuscript of the works of Archimedes in the hand
of Piero della Francesca', _The Burlngton Magazine_, 147, 2004, 165
- 169.
The author is a leading authority on Piero. Marshall Claggett knew
this MS but presumably had never seen Piero's strongly individual
handwriting.
