Isaac Newton at Hebrew University

[anhinga_anhinga]

Manuscripts of Sir Isaac Newton – never before revealed to the public – are on show at the Jewish National and University Library at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem until July 17:

The manuscripts include details of Newton's alchemy experiments, his interest in ancient history and apocalyptic prophecies. Furthermore, they reveal his decipherings of what he considered to be ''secret knowledge'' – knowledge encoded in the sacred texts of ancient cultures and other historical records – including his attempts to extract scientific information from the biblical and Talmudic descriptions of the Tabernacle and the Temple. Newton's writings on Judeo-Christian prophecy reveal that he thought of himself as a kind of prophet.

Digitized manuscripts are available, e.g.

Ха! Золотишко, действительно, дорого, а вот всякие платиноиды, которые будут подороже золота, можно извлекать, и серебро заодно:
