Published in 1880â"1, this three-volume edition of the extant works of the Greek mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse (c.287â"c.212 BCE) was edited by the Danish philologist and historian Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1854â"1928), whose Quaestiones Archimedeae (1879) is also reissued in this series. He later discovered a medieval palimpsest containing lost works by Archimedes, which significantly expanded the canon, but the present collection was produced long before this and therefore contains the works known at the time of publication. Heiberg consulted a Florentine codex, which he painstakingly compared with other sources to produce his edition. This third volume contains the editor's Latin prolegomena - his own extended essay on the works of Archimedes - followed by the commentaries on Archimedes by Eutocius of Ascalon (c.480â"c.540) and indexes. The texts are given in the original Greek with parallel Latin translation, notes and introductory material.
