There is, but historical context matters: it's very hard to have your works typeset in LaTeX if you lived before LaTeX was been invented; in the exact same way it's impossible to write out the theory when the notation for writing out theories hasn't been invented yet. Instead, as modern day investigators, we need to go through the material and figure out whether the writing was "just notes" or whether it was an "actual attempt at some kind of formal description using whatever system of formalization was available to the author at the time". You can't frame historical science in terms of modern science practices. Or even science practices from a mere 100 years after an author's death.
