Hardback, XVII+277 p., + 2 pl., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503009438. In De institutione arithmeticae artis libri duo, Boetius (this, rather than the generally 'Boethius', is how the manuscripts spell his name) shows himself a skillful and stylistically accomplished renderer of the Introduction to Arithmetic by the Neopythagorean Nicomachus of Gerasa. As Boetius explains in the preface of his work, his adaptation follows 'the itinerary, not the footprints', of the Greek original, condensing where possible, and amplifying on the abstruse. For the present edition, about forty manuscripts from the ninth and tenth centuries were examined, and twenty of these were exhaustively collated. The apparatus fontium reflects the indebtedness of Boetian number theory to the Neopythagorean tradition, mainly Nicomachus, Theo of Smyrna and Iamblichus of Chalcis. A detailed analytical index of mathematical concepts, definitions and technical terms completes the volume. Languages: Latin. 0 g.

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Fabrizio Serra, 2013, pp. 288 - MATHEMATICA GRAECA ANTIQUA Diretta da Fabio Acerbi e Bernard Vitrac. Paperback ---- Domninus of Larissa was a contemporary and a fellow student of Late Antiquity's arguably most influential philosopher, Proclus (5th c. AD). Domninus' niche today is that of a curiosity in manuals and encyclopedias, a scientifically-minded, possibly Jewish, maverick philosopher, whose advocacy of serious science brought him into conflict with his colleagues; his sophistication is supposed to be evidenced by his extant mathematical treatises, one of which allegedly possesses distinctive Euclidean overtones. A late antique intellectual who did not share the indifference to mathematical method characteristic of many of his philosophical peers, who, furthermore, allegedly voiced his disaffection with the general veneration of Nicomachus of Gerasa and canvassed a return to Euclidean rigor - such a person obviously deserves more than the few studies done on him so far. This is especially true since prior work lacks a secure footing. Domninus' name is usually connected with three works, a short and straightforward introduction to arithmetic (the Encheiridion), a step-by-step procedure for the operation we would call and conceptualize as «division of a fraction by a fraction» (ancient mathematicians called and conceptualized this as «removal of a ratio from a ratio»), and a set of scholia on Nicomachus of Gerasa. None of these treatises was published hitherto in a satisfactory way. Therefore, the present book includes editions of all of these three texts; in the case of the scholia, this is the editio princeps. An evaluation of these texts seemed possible only through a circumstantial analysis of their contents. One of the important results obtained through this analysis is that the Encheiridion is the only treatise we can assign today with any degree of confidence to Domninus. But the present book is much more than an edition. In order to firmly ground Domninus in his historic setting, it was mandatory to review the history of the philosophical School of Athens, its members, its doctrines, and, most notably, its mathematical activities. This provides a background not only for the historical figure of Domninus, but also for all of the three works contained in this book (even the two spurious ones which still give valuable insights in the mathematical work carried out in Late Antiquity). This historical introduction to the cultural backdrop occupies about one third of the whole book, which, aside from the editions with facing translations and the commentaries, furthermore offers extensive indices. Based on a careful reevaluation of all available evidence, this books offers a radically different picture of Domninus, who is - perhaps disappointingly - much less singular or «modern» than he was imagined so far. Domninus di Larissa è stato contemporaneo e seguace di Proclo, forse il più influente filosofo della tarda antichità (V sec. d.C.). L'immagine di Domninus oggi è quella di una 'curiosità' nei manuali e nelle enciclopedie; un filosofo dotato di mentalità scientifica, forse ebraico, anticonformista, in conflitto con gli studiosi suoi contemporanei a causa della difesa di una scienza metodologicamente rigorosa; si pensa che la sua raffinatezza fosse evidenziata da suoi trattati matematici, uno dei quali caratterizzato presumibilmente da peculiari connotazioni euclidee. Un intellettuale tardo-antico che non condivideva l'indifferenza al metodo matematico, caratteristica di molti suoi colleghi, e che, inoltre, avrebbe espresso la sua disaffezione nei confronti della generale venerazione di Nicomaco di Gerasa e avrebbe sostenuto un ritorno al rigore euclideo. Una figura del genere merita ovviamente più che i pochi studi fatti su di lui fino ad oggi. Questo è particolarmente vero in quanto il lavoro preliminare è privo di un appoggio sicuro. Il nome di Domninus è di solito collegato a tre opere, un'introduzione breve e diretta all'aritmetica (l'Encheiridion), una procedura graduale per l'operazione che noi chiameremmo e interpreteremmo come «divisione di una frazione da una frazione» (i matematici antichi l'hanno chiamata e interpretata come «rimozione di un rapporto da un rapporto»), e una serie di scholia su Nicomaco di Gerasa. Nessuno di questi trattati è stato pubblicato finora in modo soddisfacente. Pertanto questo volume include le edizioni critiche di tutti questi tre testi; nel caso degli scholia, questa è l'editio princeps. Una valutazione di questi testi sembra possibile solo attraverso un'analisi circostanziata del loro contenuto. Uno dei risultati più importanti ottenuti attraverso quest'analisi è che l'Encheiridion è l'unico trattato che possiamo attribuire oggi a Domninus con un certo grado di sicurezza. Ma il libro è molto più di un'edizione critica. Al fine di situare saldamente Domninus nel suo ambiente storico, è stato necessario rivedere la storia della scuola filosofica di Atene, i suoi membri, le sue dottrine e, in particolare, le sue attività matematiche. Questo ha fornito uno sfondo non solo per la figura storica di Domninus, ma anche per tutte le tre opere contenute in questo libro (anche le due spurie, che regalano comunque preziose 'vedute' del lavoro matematico svolto nella tarda antichità). Quest'introduzione storica al contesto culturale occupa circa un terzo di tutto il libro, che, a parte le edizioni critiche con traduzione a fronte e commento, offre inoltre un ricco apparato di indici. Basato su un'attenta rivalutazione di tutte le evidenze disponibili, il libro presenta un'immagine radicalmente diversa di Domninus, che è - forse in modo un po' deludente - molto meno originale o «moderno» di quello che è stato immaginato finora.
