the Rosetta Stone 196 BC, although I'm not sure how to read it since the Perl translation was lost over time.

But the Rosetta stone had no 'computing' dimension as fas as I can see. These tally sticks do. Some are quite a bit older, too. Other old-book contenders are Fibonacci's Liber Abaci (1202) or the latest of Al-Khwarizmi (9th C). There is even older Indian and Chinese stuff. But on my shelves, alas, nothing older than 1965.
