Description

Explore the mathematical foundations of the medieval West in this scholarly collection from Routledge. This volume focuses on the period between approximately 500 and 1100, examining the era before Arabic and Greek translations began to influence Western thought. It provides a unique look at the Latin tradition through various specialized studies. Readers will find deep insights into the work of Roman surveyors known as agrimensores and the role of recreational mathematics during the times of Bede and Alcuin. The text also covers geometrical works from Corbie and Lorraine that were compiled from late antiquity Latin sources. Additionally, the book examines the use of the abacus during the time of Gerbert (Pope Sylvester II) and investigates the Rithmimachia, a board game from the early 11th century designed to assist with mathematical learning. This collection is an essential resource for historians and students interested in the development of early medieval scientific thought.
