ENGLISH MEANING<\/p>\n
A manuscript page that has been reused after the original writing was erased.<\/p>\n
A palimpsest is a physical document, usually parchment, where older text has been scraped or washed off and new text written over it. Metaphorically, it describes anything that shows layers of history, memory, or meaning underneath the surface. It is used especially in literature, archaeology, and art criticism.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
