Extractions: Version for printing Eutocius of Ascalon was for a long time thought to have been born in 530. It is instructive to see how this came about for it shows how many pitfalls there are in the study of history. Eutocius wrote commentaries on three works of Archimedes . His commentary on Book II of On the Sphere and Cylinder ends with the statement:- ... the edition was revised by Isidorus of Miletus, the mechanical engineer, our teacher. From this it was thought that Eutocius was a pupil of Isidorus and his dates were deduced from this information. However, further investigation showed that this contradicted other information such the dedications that Eutocius makes in some of his other works. It was then realised that the comment at the end of Eutocius's commentary to Archimedes On the Sphere and Cylinder was inserted by a later editor of the work who was indeed a pupil of Isidorus of Miletus. It is thought that the first of Eutocius's commentaries on Archimedes was written around 510.

Extractions: Version for printing Archytas of Tarentum was a mathematician, statesman and philosopher who lived in Tarentum in Magna Graecia, an area of southern Italy which was under Greek control in the fifth century BC. The Pythagoreans, who had at one stage been strong throughout Magna Graecia, were attacked and expelled until only the town of Tarentum remained a stronghold for them. Archytas led the Pythagoreans in Tarentum and tried to unite the Greek towns in the area to form an alliance against their non-Greek neighbours. He was commander in chief of the forces in Tarentum for seven years despite there being a law that nobody could hold the post for more than a year. Plato , who became a close friend, made his acquaintance while saying in Magna Graecia. Heath writes in [4]:- ... he is said, by means of a letter, to have saved

These vernacular editions, grouped around the first Latin edition of 1482, are displayed in chronological sequence, from 1533 (Greek) to 1594 (Arabic). All copies are opened at Book I, proposition 47, "Pythagoras' Theorem," which asserts: "In right-angled triangles the square of the side opposite the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the sides containing the right angle." Most of the translations provide proof of this equation (a

Vol. 1: The Two Books On the Sphere and the Cylinder . Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004. Pp. x, 375. ISBN 0-521-66160-9. $125.00. Perhaps the ultimate acknowledgement that a work of classical antiquity is truly impossible to read is the provision of a facing translation in the Teubner text. In the case of Archimedes, probably the most famous of ancient mathematicians, the distinction is certainly well deserved, and there is considerable courage involved in any attempt to translate this difficult, elliptical, and interpolated (not to mention highly technical) set of writings. The book under review, a translation of the two books On the Sphere and the Cylinder , is an example of particular courage well applied: it is only the first volume of a multi-volume translation project intended to cover all the works of Archimedes included in the standard Greek edition (Teubner, ed. J. L. Heiberg, 2nd edn 1910-15). The volume includes not only a translation but also extensive commentary, as well as a translation of the important ancient commentary by Eutocius of Ascalon, notes on that commentary, and a critical edition of the diagrams that accompany both texts in the manuscript tradition. The work is of high quality and will undoubtedly remain an important one for years to come though perhaps less because of the translation itself than because of the accompanying material.
