"Parts of text" in the mathematical literature of ancient Greece
from the author to his commentator. the example of Conics by Apollonius of Perga
pp. 135-157
Abstract
From the concrete examples of Conics by Apollonius of Perga and the commentary on Books I–IV by Eutocius of Ascalon, the author examines the different means used in Ancient Greece by mathematicians and copyists so that the elements that contribute to constructing the meaning of the text are clearly identified.
