   Palimpsest
   A `palimpsest` is a manuscript page, whether from scroll or book that has been written on, scraped off, and used again. The word `palimpsest` comes through Latin from Greek Ã?€Î±Î»Î¹Î½ + Ã?ˆÎ±Ã?‰ = (`again` + `I scrape`), and meant `scraped again.` Romans wrote on wax-coated tablets that could be reused, and a passing use of the rather bookish term `palimpsest` by Cicero seems to refer to this practice.
