This treatise, which lies at the foundation of spherical geometry, is lost in Greek but has been preserved in its Arabic versions. The reader will find here, for the first time edited and translated into English, the essentials of this tradition, namely: a fragment of an early Arabic translation and the first Arabic redaction of the \u003cem\u003eSpherics\u003c\/em\u003e composed by al-Māhānī \/al-Harawī, together with a historical and mathematical study of Menelaus' treatise. With this book, a new and important part of the Greek and Arabic legacy to the history of mathematics comes to light. This book will be an indispensable acquisition for any reader interested in the history of Ancient geometry and science and, more generally, in Greek and Arabic science and culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roshdi Rashed,Athanase Papadopoulos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110568233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110568233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 1.81d","brand":"Roshdi Rashed","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136977907967,"sku":"9783110568233","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8595b34f-8bfb-4a79-8fbd-48129b747dc9.jpg?v=1770165726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/menelaus-spherics-roshdi-rashed-9783110568233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
