Opis

The series Scientia Graeco-Arabicais devoted to the study of scientific and philosophical texts from the Classical and the Islamic world handed down in Arabic. Through critical text editions and monographs it provides access to the topics of inquiry in which ancient science presented itself and developed over time in a continuous tradition between Antiquity and the modern period. All editions are accompanied by translations and philological and explanatory notes. Languages of publication are English, German, French and Italian.

This is the first study of the history of Diophantine analysis and the theory of numbers from Ab? K?mil to Fermat (9th-17th century). It thus offers an elaborate and detailed overview on a fundamental chapter on classical mathematical thought and its relation to algebra and Diophantus Arithmetica.
