Why Was I Directed To The Archimedes Palimpsest?

Someone, in response, I believe, to the Dizzynomics post, directed me to the Archimedes Palimpsest:

About the Archimedes Palimpsest

The Archimedes Palimpsest is a medieval parchment manuscript, now consisting of 174 parchment folios. While it contains no less than seven treatises by Archimedes, calling it the Archimedes Palimpsest is a little confusing. As it is now, the manuscript is a Byzantine prayerbook, written in Greek, and technically called a euchologion. This euchologion was completed by April 1229, and was probably made in Jerusalem.

The prayer book, or Euchologion, is itself of some interest, and further information on its contents can be discovered in this website. However, to make their prayer book, the scribes used parchment that had already been used for the writings of other books. The books they took parchment from were as follows.

The Book's Contents
Firstly, and most importantly, they used a book containing at least seven treatises by Archimedes. These treatises are The Equilibrium of Planes, Spiral Lines, The Measurement of the Circle, Sphere and Cylinder, On Floating Bodies, The Method of Mechanical Theorems, and the Stomachion. Of these treatises, the last three are of the greatest significance to our understanding of Archimedes. While the other treatises had survived through other manuscripts, there is no other surviving copy of On Floating Bodies in Greek – the language in which Archimedes wrote, and there is no version in any language of The Method of Mechanical Theorems and of the Stomachion. The Archimedes manuscript was used for the majority of the pages of the prayer book. The Archimedes manuscript was written in the second half of the tenth century, almost certainly in Constantinople....

The only connections I can see offhand is that in her "The new naivety" post Izabella uses the word "anacyclosis" which a quick look at Wikipedia says is Greek (duh) and I know Archimedes was Greek (double duh) but what the relationship is I don't know. Tis a puzzlement.

Ooh, Wikipedia also says that Machiavelli addresses anacyclosis in his Discourses on Livy, which book I mentioned reading in 2008's "Hank Paulson, George Washington and Benito Mussolini Walk Into a Bar: Part I" so should I be needed I may be busy getting distracted by Book I Ch. II:

"OF THE KINDS OF REPUBLICS THERE ARE, AND OF WHICH WAS THE ROMAN REPUBLIC"

Still curious about the ref to the Palimpsest though, should the sender wish to enlighten me.
