  1. Geographic longitude in Latin Europe during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.C. Philipp E. Nothaft - 2024 - Archive for History of Exact Sciences 78 (1):29-65.
    This article surveys surviving evidence for the determination of geographic longitude in Latin Europe in the period between 1100 and 1300. Special consideration is given to the different types of sources that preserve longitude estimates as well as to the techniques that were used in establishing them. While the method of inferring longitude differences from eclipse times was evidently in use as early as the mid-twelfth century, it remains doubtful that it can account for most of the preserved longitudes.

  • Two Commentaries on Euclid's Definition of Proportional Magnitudes.Bijan Vahabzadeh - 1994 - Arabic Sciences and Philosophy 4 (1):181.

Both al-Jayy and Saunderson attempted to defend Euclid's definition by making explicit what Euclid had only implied. We show that the two authors explain Euclid's position in a virtually identical manner.

    RésuméLe mathématicien et astronome andalou Ibn Muʿāḏ al-Jayyānī est l'auteur d'un important commentaire sur le concept de rapport, dans lequel il se propose de justifier la définition euclidienne de la proportionnalité entre grandeurs – la célèbre Définition V.5 – et celle du rapport plus grand. Nous donnons, en plus d'une analyse de ce commentaire, une traduction française et une édition critique du texte original arabe. Nous avons également tenté de faire le point sur certains détails liés à la biographie d'Ibn (...)
