Livre IV. Commentaire historique et mathématique, édition et traduction du texte arabeRoshdi Rashed Walter de Gruyter, 23 juin 2009 - 329 pages Book IV of the Konika consists of two parts; the first presents a theory of poles and polars, the second deals with the number of intersections and points of contact in a conic section. Previously the book was only extant as the very unreliable text of a Greek commentary by Eutocius. Roshdi Rashed here presents for the first time an edition of an Arabic translation based on a text independent of this Greek version. This is a valuable re-discovery, for which reason it is published here as a separate volume. It contains an edition princeps of the Arabic text, together with a faithful translation and a historical-mathematical commentary. |
