  1. Building the Stemma Codicum of Geometrical Diagrams. A Treatise on Optics by Ibn al-Haytham as a Test Case.Dominique Raynaud - 2014 - Archive for History of Exact Sciences 68 (2):207-239.
    In view of the progress made in recent decades in the fields of stemmatology and the analysis of geometric diagrams, the present article explores the possibility of establishing the stemma codicum of a handwritten tradition from geometric diagrams alone. This exploratory method is tested on Ibn al-Haytham’s Epistle on the Shape of the Eclipse, because this work has not yet been issued in a critical edition. Separate stemmata were constructed on the basis of the diagrams and the text, and a (...)

  • Further adventures of the Rome 1594 Arabic redaction of Euclid’s Elements.Gregg De Young - 2012 - Archive for History of Exact Sciences 66 (3):265-294.
    This article takes up the adventure of the Arabic version of the Elements published in Rome at the Typographia Medicea in 1594 at the point where the first installment (Cassinet, Revue française d’histoire du livre 78–79:5–51, 1993) ended. In this new installment of the adventure, we situate the Rome edition within a stemma of connected Arabic copies spanning some four centuries. We show that the text of the Rome edition was typeset from Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Or. 20 and that Or. (...)

  • Vestiges of the emergence of overspecification and indifference to visual accuracy in the mathematical diagrams of medieval manuscripts.Christián C. Carman - 2020 - Centaurus 62 (1):141-157.
    Diagrams in medieval manuscripts of Greek mathematical and astronomical works can seem peculiar for a modern reader, given their persistent and widespread tendency to represent more geometric regularity than the argument requires and their usual visual inaccuracy in depicting the mathematical objects discussed in the text. Although most scholars believe that these tendencies go back to the original Greek authors, in a recent paper I argued that these odd features should not be attributed to Greek authors, but to transmission. My (...)
