Early printed books
Euclid. Liber elementorum in artem geometrie. Venice : Erhard Ratdolt, 25 May 1482.
This Venetian printing of Euclid's Geometriae elementa of 1482 was produced by one Erhard Ratdolt, a native of Augsberg, who began printing in Venice around 1476. The layout of the book shows both a decorative sense and a flair for technical innovation on the part of the printer. The first page of the text has a handsome, three-sided border and initial in white on a black ground. The text has been set in a close black-letter type in one column leaving a wide outer margin for the geometric figures. This was the first instance of mathematical figures being reproduced in this way. It is uncertain how much of the textual content of the Elementa is original and how much is a compilation of the work of earlier geometers. It is however regarded as the greatest geometrical work ever produced and it is undisputed that Euclid's book, written in the third century BC, immediately supplanted its predecessors and remained the basic treatise on geometry for well over 2000 years. The Latin version here is thought to have been translated from the Arabic by the great 12th century scholar, Adelard of Bath, with a commentary by Campanus of Novara. Ratdolt's edition is remarkable not only as being the first appearance in print of this seminal text but also for the extremely high quality of its production, making it one of the finest of all mathematical books. It is probably one of the first, if not the first, extensive work to be printed with diagrams. Ratdolt's comments on the difficulty of doing these is noted in his introduction and dedication to the Doge, and his technique was to be used until well into the 16th century. As a piece of mathematical printing it has rarely, if ever, been surpassed.

Secretum secretorum De Mirabilibus Mundi - Cosmos Background for Ars Magica sagas
The Heavens
Before entering the Cosmos, let us pause just outside it: what if, anything, exists there? All agreed that no material substance is found outside the cosmos; if the cosmos is held to contain all the material substance that God created, this conclusion is unavoidable. Yet what about space devoid of corporeal substance? Aristotle had explicitly denied the possibility of place, space or vacuum outside the world, and this conclusion was generally accepted until a reevaluation of the issue was provoked by the condemnation of 1277. As we enter the cosmos, we immediately encounter celestial spheres. How many of these exist, what is their nature, and what are their functions? There are seven planets - moon, Mercury, Venus, sun, mars, Jupiter and Saturn, generally held to be arranged in that order. In the simplified version of the cosmos preferred by medieval writers on cosmology, which ignored most of the astronomical details, each plate required a single sphere to account for its motion. In addition, according to Aristotle, outside the planetary spheres, defining the outer limit of the cosmos, is the sphere of the fixed stars or primum mobile. Several problems arose as medieval scholars thought about this outermost sphere. One of them was to define its place. The place of a thing, according to Aristotle, is determined by the body or bodies that contain it. However, if the sphere of fixed stars is itself the outermost body, there is nothing outside it to serve as container. The natural conclusion of this line of argument - that the primum mobile is not a place - was too paradoxical to be accepted by all but a few of the toughest minds. Various solutions were therefore proposed, including an attempt to redefine place to allow it to be determined by the contained, rather than the containing, body.

http://www.epwijnants-lectures.com/firstcode.html
Da Vinci’s First Code: Our Numbers Our Gods, the Pentagram
with illustrated examples ranging from da Vinci's three portraits of women to the Great Pyramid and the Parthenon. Renaissance neoplatonist speculators used the Golden means, or ‘Ratio’ for the pentagon and the pentagram necessary for the construction of the of the Platonic solids. But irrespective of the base that any of the earlier cultures or even civilizations chose, the first group of numbers to be appreciated and understood at some level was the group of whole numbers (or natural numbers). These are the familiar 1, 2, 3, 4.... Once humans absorbed the comprehension of these numbers as abstract quantities into their consciousness, it did not take them long to start to attribute special properties to numbers. From Greece to India, numbers were accredited with secret qualities and powers. Some ancient Indian texts claim that numbers are almost divine, or "Brahma-natured. These manuscripts contain phrases that are nothing short of worship to numbers (like "hail to one"). Similarly, a famous dictum of the Greek mathematician Pythagoras (whose life and work will be described later in this chapter) suggests that "everything is arranged according to number." These sentiments led on one hand to important developments in number theory but, on the other, to the development of numerology-the set of doctrines according to which all aspects of the universe are associated with numbers and their idiosyncrasies.

BOSTON STUDIES IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Volume 135
The attribution of the Speculum Astronomiae to Albertus Magnus became a controversial issue only recently, when the great neo-Thomist historian Pierre Mandonnet suggested without any antecedents that the author was Roger Bacon rather than Albert. Mandonnet's theses were refuted by Lynn Thorndike and have since then been the subject of widespread discussion.
The present historiographical case-study considers this debate in the light of an analysis of texts by Albert himself, as well as other important authors, such as Bacon, Bonaventura, Thomas Aquinas, Witelo, Campanus of Novara, and others, which shows how widespread the general concept of the influence of the stars and other astrological ideas to be found in the Speculum were. Most of the scientific ideas of the Middle Ages were based on principles derived from the notion of celestial influence and its consequences. The

59. History Of Mathematics Text
Elements, based upon a translation from Arabic to Latin presumably made by Abelardof Bath in the 12th century, was edited and annotated by campanus of novara.
http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/University_Library/exhibits/math/textfr.html
Euclid
Brown University Library possess a copy of each sixteenth-century translation of Euclid's Elements of Geometry into a modern language. These vernacular editions, grouped around the first Latin edition of 1482, are displayed in chronological sequence, from 1533 (Greek) to 1594 (Arabic). All copies are opened at Book I, proposition 47, "Pythagoras' Theorem," which asserts: "In right-angled triangles the square of the side opposite the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the sides containing the right angle." Most of the translations provide proof of this equation (a + b = c using a geometrical construction known as "the bride's chair."
Other first translations into modern European languages were published in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: Dutch (1602), Russian (1739), Swedish (1744), and Danish (1745).

Venice: Erhard Ratdolt, [25 May] 1482.
Euclid's Elements of Geometry has been a primary mathematics text for more than two thousand years. It is a compilation of early Greek mathematical knowledge, synthesized and systematically presented by Euclid in ca. 300 BC. Books I-IV are devoted to plane geometry, Book V deals with the theory of proportions, and Book VI with the similarity of plane figures. Books VII-IX are on number theory, Book X on commensurability and incommensurability, Books XI-XII explore three dimensional geometric objects, and Book XIII deals with the construction of the five regular solids. Later non-Euclidian additions include, Book XIV, which is thought to have been contrbuted by Hypsciles (ca. 200 BC), and Book XV, which may have been added by John of Damascus, or by a 6th-century pupil of Isadoros of Miletos.

Dear Colleagues,
It seems apparent that anyone with an *earnest* interest in the prehistory,
history, and reception of non-Archimedean mathematics should take a close
look at the controversial and juicy history of HORN ANGLES.
This concept loosely defined as the configuration formed by two curves
starting at a point, called the vertex, in a common direction - is also found
in the literature with colorful names such as
o angle of contingence
o curvilinear angle
o angle of contact o cornicular angle o horn-shape angle o horn-like angle o horned angle
