Description

This scholarly collection examines Western mathematics from approximately 500 to 1100 CE, exploring the mathematical traditions of the Latin world before the influx of Arabic and Greek translations reshaped European thought. The essays investigate the Roman surveyors known as agrimensores, recreational mathematics during the era of Bede and Alcuin, and geometrical texts developed at Corbie and Lorraine drawing from late antique Latin sources. Significant topics include Gerbert's abacus work during his time as Pope Sylvester II and the Rithmimachia, an innovative board game created in the early 11th century designed to teach mathematical principles. Four studies appear in English for the first time, making this Routledge publication an essential resource for understanding how mathematics developed in medieval Western Europe independently of Eastern influences.
