Carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 and buried in the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum — the only library to survive from classical antiquity. Recovered in excavations begun in 1752; too fragile to open physically, it is read non-invasively via X-ray tomography and virtual unwrapping.  ·  ash2txt data browser · scrollprize.org/data
