A comment on The New Treasures of Pompeii. Parent comment
I'd like to understand the potential for recovering lost works of any kind. What sort of organizations exist for this?
Burned scrolls, is one source.
In India, there are thousands of manuscripts rotting in temple treasuries.
Palimsets have yet to be discovered in archives.
And even archives themselves may contain lost treasures through misclassification.
Are there other potential sources for finding lost manuscripts?
