] The so-called Archimedes Palimpsest includes the only
] copy of the treatise "Method of Mechanical Theorems," in
] which Archimedes explains how he used mechanical means to
] develop his mathematical theorems. It is also the only
] source in the original Greek for the treatise "On
] Floating Bodies," in which Archimedes deals with the
] physics of flotation and gravity.

Hmmmm... Archimedes priceless theories... or a prayerbook? Which is more important?
