Book Description
Anthony Lo Bello's Gerard of Cremona's Translation of Book I of the Commentary of al-Nayrizi on Euclid's Elements of Geometry is the first modern translation of Gerard of Cremona's (1114-1187) Latin version of al-Nayrizi's famous Arabic commentary. Lo Bello gives an introductory account of the twenty-two early extant Arabic manuscripts of the Elements, an annotated English translation of Gerard's translation of al-Nayrizi's commentary, and finally a critical analysis of the idiosyncrasies of Gerard's method of translation.
