Apollonii Pergaei Quae Graece Exstant Cum Commentariis Antiquis: Volume

Klappentext The Greek astronomer and geometrician Apollonius of Perga (c.262-c.190 BCE) produced pioneering written work on conic sections in which he demonstrated mathematically the generation of curves and their fundamental properties. His innovative terminology gave us the terms 'ellipse', 'hyperbola' and 'parabola'. The Danish scholar Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1854-1928), a professor of classical philology at the University of Copenhagen, prepared important editions of works by Euclid, Archimedes and Ptolemy, among others. Published between 1891 and 1893, this two-volume work contains the definitive Greek text of the first four books of Apollonius' treatise together with a facing-page Latin translation. (The fifth, sixth and seventh books survive only in Arabic translation, while the eighth is lost entirely.) Volume 1 contains the first three books, with the editor's introductory matter in Latin. Zusammenfassung Published 1891–3, this two-volume edition of the ground-breaking work on conics by Greek geometrician Apollonius of Perga (c.262–c.190 BCE) was edited by Danish philologist Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1854–1928). Volume 1 contains the Greek text of Books 1–3, with Latin editorial matter and facing-page translation. Inhaltsverzeichnis Praefatio; Conicorum libri I-III.
