Rezensionen

"Rashed has added to our knowledge of Menelaus and made a comparison of Archimedes and Menelaus more accessible to students of ancient mechanics. At the same time, he has made an important addition to the history of mechanics in medieval Islam. This erudite and meticulously executed book will hold the attention of any reader interested in a more complete retrieval of Hellenistic mathematics and mechanics." Jean De Groot in: BMCR 2023.02.25
