Issue number
(2022): 17
Notes category
One of New College Library’s greatest treasures is its set of four volumes of research manuscripts from the desk of Sir Isaac Newton. While valuable objects in themselves, they are also highly significant for researchers hoping to piece together the complex research of Newton’s final decades, in which he sought to reset the timelines of ancient chronology.
