In which manuscript form are Hero's works least preserved?
Sumerian tablets
Hieroglyphs
Latin or Arabic
Viking runes
Answer
Latin or Arabic: The scarcity of Hero's works in these manuscript forms highlights the challenges in preserving ancient scientific literature. Factors such as the limited production and circulation of scientific texts, coupled with the decline of classical scholarship and the rise of religious influences, may have contributed to the loss of a significant portion of Hero's original writings.
