The lost works of an ancient Greek mathematician, Apollonius, have been discovered by scientists.
Apollonius of Perga was known as "The Great Geometer," according to a Liberty University publication.
The books were written around 200 BC, according to Phys.org, a site that reports science, technology and medical news.
The books were acquired by Jacob Golius, who was a Dutch mathematician, during his travels to the Middle East in the 17th century, according to Turkiye Today.
"This manuscript is fascinating, both for its scientific content and its magnificent calligraphy and decorations," Hogendijk said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Leiden University Libraries for comment.
