Description

L'Antiquite nous a laisse de nombreuses, et fameuses, anecdotes sur Archimede. Parmi celles-ci, on raconte que, pour defendre Syracuse menacee, il fit construire un miroir qui condensait la lumiere et la chaleur. La flotte adverse, en flammes, prit la fuite. De ces miroirs ardents, point de rencontre entre theorie et technique, nous n'avons malheureusementconserve que peu de traces: les trois textes majeurs, de Diocles, d'Anthemius de Tralles et de l'auteur des fragments dits de Babbio sont aujourd'hui perdus. Or, les mathematiciens arabes du IXeme siecle engagerent des recherches approfondies sur les miroirs ardents et traduisirent nombre des savants grecs. Ce sont ces oeuvres, traductions arabes des traites grecs perdus, que regroupe cette edition: le texte de Diocles, le traite dit de Dtrums, les ecrits d'Anthemius de Tralles et le traite de Didyme sur la construction du miroir ardent d'Archimede sont presentes dans leur version arabe avec en vis-a-vis la traduction francaise. La riche introduction relate l'histoire passionnante de ces textes et fournit une analyse detaillee des connaissances catoptriques et geometriques de l'epoque. Chaque texte est precede d'une notice et fait le point des savoirs sur son auteur. La lecture est accompagnee de notes qui sont developpes a la fin de chaque traite. On trouvera en outre en appendice le texte grec d'Anthemius de Tralles sur les paradoxes mecaniques, un glossaire arabe-francais et un lexique arabe-grec du texte d'Anthemius sur les miroirs ardents. Le livre est enrichi par un index des noms propres, un index des concepts, unindex des traites cites, un index des manuscrits et une bibliographie. Texte etabli, traduit et commente par Roshdi Rashed.
