• 14:0314:03, 29 July 2024 diff hist +64 Clemens Herschel Three mistakes in one sentence! Frontinus was not the designer of the system, which was centuries old when he took charge of it; Frontinus didn't write the manuscript — on the contrary, the copyist was already copying a manuscript that was partly illegible and not by Frontinus either; and Herschel didn't 'find' (suggesting 'discover') the manuscript, which had been known since the 15c. Also, "1973" as a publication date for Herschel's book makes no sense. current
