Work C.1.31.3

Theon of Alexandria
Commentary on the Almagest (tr. Federico Commandino)

Text ‘(Urbino, BU, Busta 120) Assiduis auditorum exortationibus impulsus Epiphani fili ad ea illustranda quae in Mathematica Ptolaemei… (202r) Cap. 1: De ordine theorematum — ae aequales et az et dupla <ut ae>…’
