Abstract

AbstractThis is the first paper in a series in which we provide critical editions of four texts written between the eleventh and the thirteenth century concerning Proposition III.5 of Menelaus'Spherics. The first paper contains introductory material on the work of Ibn ʿIrāq on spherical geometry and a critical edition of his two texts on the rectification of Proposition III.5, together with translations and historical and mathematical commentaries. The second paper contains critical editions of the texts by Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī and Ibn Abī Jarrāda on the same subject, again with translations and historical and mathematical commentaries.
