Socialism is leftism, Nazism is not, so why were they called, and some people still call them, the National Socialists?

I'm wondering how they figured out how to prevent buildings from collapsing before structural engineering became widespread and default in the building process

I know the answer is yes, but I'm having a hard time finding it. All I ever get from searches is "Life of the Medieval Craftsmen", etc.

IIRC his name was found in an inconspicious part of a tympanum in a french cathedral and I think some other places in southern and northern England.

In 1345 he personally discovered a collection of Cicero's letters not previously known to have existed, the collection Epistulae ad Atticum, in the Chapter Library (Biblioteca Capitolare) of Verona Cathedral

So basically a guy goes into a library, rummages for a while, and finds ~1400 years old text no one knew was there

Do we still have places that store texts (like libraries, but doesn't have to strictly be a library) where we don't have everything catalogued and we don't know what might be inside?
