'The volume is a typographical masterpiece, following the design of the Italian edition of Euclid in confining the text to a column on the left of the page, thus allowing an ample space on the right-hand side for the appropriate diagrams. The lavish use of beautiful criblé initials in various sizes adds to the striking effect of the page' (Schreiber). This edition is the first to reproduce the competing editions of Euclid's two early editors, Campanus of Novara (who had produced the 1482 edition from the Arabic) and Bartolomeo Zamberti (who produced the first edition from the Greek in 1505. 'Each theorem and proof first occurs ex Campano and is immediately followed by its mate and proof Theon ex Zamberto.

This object is called after Campanus of Novara who used it as an illustration in his thirteenth-century translation of Euclid's Elements. In proposition 17 of book 12, a polyhedron sandwiched between two concentric spheres is constructed with n rings, each containing 2 n faces. Campanus took n as 6 and produced this 72-faced example. In Jamnitzer's sphere, there are seven rings of faces rather than six, and the lines of latitude are not evenly spaced so the circles of longitude are not regular polygons. Previous Next

35. Ahmed However it was not without its defects and campanus of novara pointed outa circular argument which occurs in Ahmed s reasoning. http://www-groups.dcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/Mathematicians/Ahmed.html

Ahmed ibn Yusuf al-Misri Born: 835 in Baghdad (now in Iraq) Died: 912 in Cairo, Egypt Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Ahmed ibn Yusuf 's father Yusuf ibn Ibrahim was also a mathematician. Yusuf ibn Ibrahim lived in Baghdad but moved to Damascus in about 839. After a little while he moved again, taking his son Ahmed with him, and went to live in Cairo. Although we are far from certain about the date of Ahmed's birth it is believed to have been before the family moved to Damascus. Again it is unclear exactly when the family moved again to Cairo but as Ahmed became known as "al-Misri " meaning "the Egyptian" it is likely that he lived in Cairo from a fairly young age. It is worth saying a word or two about Yusuf ibn Ibrahim, Ahmed's father, since scholars have had some difficulty in deciding which texts are due to the father, which to the son, or perhaps to joint work of the two. Yusuf ibn Ibrahim is known to have been a member of a group of scholars and this must have provided a strong intellectual environment for Ahmed. As well as a text on medicine, Yusuf is known to have written a work on astronomy and produced a collection of astronomical tables. Ahmed was to achieve an important role in Egypt and to understand this we must examine how Egypt achieved relative independence from the Abbasid Caliph. The Caliphs had strengthened their armies in the 9

37. Euclid's Geometry: Athelhard Of Bath Johannes campanus of novara (late 13th Century) Chaplain to Pope Urban IV (whowas Pope from 12611281). Probably also used an Arabic original, http://mathforum.org/geometry/wwweuclid/athel.htm

11. Athelhard of Bath: Around 1120 A.D. This Englishman traveled to Spain and translated many works, including The Elements from Arabic into Latin. He may or may not have had a Greek version to check against; he may or may not have even known Greek. He almost certainly had access to a Latin translation which is now lost to us. We have some manuscripts that appear to be copies of his translation. Arabic words are used for some of the geometrical terms instead of Greek. The main source for his Latin version was probably in Arabic. Gerhard of Cremona (1114-1187): Wrote many works, among which a translation of The Elements is mentioned by a later writer. Scholars thought that there were no surviving copies of this translation, but now believe that an Arabic to Latin translation found in 1904 is indeed Gerhard's. Again, Arabic terms appear, and it is assumed that his main source was an Arabic version. He also translated many original Arabic works into Latin as well as Arabic translations of Greek originials. Johannes Campanus of Novara (late 13th Century): Chaplain to Pope Urban IV (who was Pope from 1261-1281). Probably also used an Arabic original, but had access to Athelhard's translation too. This is a very important translation because it was the first to be printed.

timeline home courses topics theorems ... timeline Around 30 000BC to 5000BC. We have the findings of some kind of mathematical pursuit, from recording the number on bones, to early geometrical designs. Around 4000BC to 2000BC. Babylonians and Egyptians developed calendars and began using them. Around 1900BC one of the two mathematical papyri is written - the Moscow Papyrus (also called the Golenishev papyrus) giving details of Egyptian geometry. Between 1850 and 1750BC Babylonians know of and use what we now call Pythagoras' theorem. They also compiled tables of square and cube roots. About 1700BC the Ahmes (or Rhind) papyrus is written. It shows number work of Egyptian scribe, in particular dealing with fractions. Around BC Thales of Miletus develops an abstract geometry, elevating it from the measurement of surfaces and solids to the first use of logical proof. If at all, Pythagoras of Samos lived sometimes between 50 th and the 52 nd Olympiads, or between 580 and 568 BC. He founded a school at Crotona , teaching that numbers are the cause of the various qualities of everything that surrounds us About 450BC Greeks begin to use written numerals and Zeno presented his paradoxes 387BC Plato founds his Academy in Athens. Plato thought that there was an ideal world in which ideas of everything that exist in our world are created. We try to re-create these ideas in our everyday world by creating things, but they can never be as perfect as the 'ideals' of these things. He identified five regular polyhedra, which are now called
