Tony Lévy, Bernard Vitrac, Hero of Alexandria and Mordekhai Komtino: The Encounter between Mathematics in Hebrew and the Greek Metrological Corpus in Fifteenth-Century Constantinople, Aleph, Vol. 18, No. 2 (2018), pp. 181-262
Une voix de fin silence / qol demama daqqa
Dans le Premier Livre des Rois (chapitre 19, verset 12), la présence divine telle qu’elle apparaît au prophète Élie est décrite par l’expression « une voix de fin silence », traduction littérale des trois mots hébreux qol demama daqqa . Véritable défi pour les traducteurs au fil des siècles, cette formule énigmatique appelle, bien sûr, l’interprétation. Cet article présente plusieurs commentaires relevant de la tradition juive
L'Algèbre Arabe Dans Les Textes Hébraïques (Ii). Dans l'Italie Des Xv E Et Xvi E Siècles, Sources Arabes Et Sources Vernaculaires
Until the end of the 14th century, the sources of Hebrew mathematical writings were almost exclusively in Arabic. This was particularly true of texts that contained elements of algebra or algebraic developments. The testimonies we present and analyze here are due to Jewish authors living in Italy, primarily in the 15th century, who made use of the most varied sources, in addition to Arabic: in Castilian, in Italian, and perhaps in Latin. These te…
Sefer ha-Middot
Two versions (Hebrew and Latin) of a hitherto unknown text on arithmetic and geometry, attributed in the Hebrew manuscript to the Jewish polymath, Abraham Ibn Ezra, are presented, along with an English translation. This substantial text, which may be referred to as Sefer ha-Middot (Book of Measurements), consists of notes on arithmetic and a systematic treatise on geometry. The Latin version, which is a translation of the Hebrew, is extant in a m…
Arabic Algebra in Hebrew Texts (1). An Unpublished Work by Isaac ben Salomon al-Aḥdab (14th Century)
It has long been considered that Arabic algebra scarcely left any traces in mathematical literature of Hebrew expression. Thanks to the unpublished sources we have discovered, and to an attentive examination of already-known texts, one can no longer subscribe to such a judgement. The evidence we examine in this first article sheds light on the circulation, in erudite Jewish circles, of Arabic algebraic knowledge in Spain, Italy, Provence, and Sic…
A Newly-Discovered Partial Hebrew Version of al-Khw?rizm?'s Algebra
purpose of this brief note is to announce the discovery of a short Hebrew text that I have identified as an adaptation of the famous Algebra by Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwârizmi (ninth century). This discovery is significant because no one has ever suspected that this fundamental text of algebra had ever been translated into Hebrew. In the course of my study of Hebrew texts related to Abraham Ibn Ezra's Sefer ha-mispar, I examined a manuscript in Ge…
Hebrew and Latin Versions of an Unknown Mathematical Text by Abraham Ibn Ezra
Hebrew manuscript Monte Cassino, Biblioteca dell'Abbazia, Caravita 5 IO1 contains three important mathematical texts in Hebrew. Two are well-known translations from the Arabic by Moses Ibn Tibbon: Euclid's Elements (fols, la132b) and Theodosius' Sph aeries (fols. 142a-171a). In between these two is a text whose beginning is clearly missing. E. Renan describes it as the Sefer ha-Mispar, i.e., Book of the Number, by Abraham Ibn Ezra.2 In fact, the …
The Establishment of the Mathematical Bookshelf of the Medieval Hebrew Scholar
The ArgumentThe major part of the mathematical "classics" in Hebrew were translated from Arabic between the second third of the thirteenth century and the first third of the fourteenth century, within the northern littoral of the western Mediterranean. This movement occurred after the original works by Abraham bar Hiyya and Abraham ibn Ezra became available to a wide readership. The translations were intended for a restricted audience - the schol…
L'histoire des nombres amiables
This article analyzes new material on the history of the amicable numbers. It discusses Hebrew texts which throw new light on the diffusion in Medieval Europe of Ṯābit ibn Qurra's (9th century) work. We find Ṯābit's theorem on amicable numbers in a Hebrew translation, made in Saragossa in 1395, of an arithmetical commentary written by Abū al-Ṣalt al-Andalusī (ca. 1068–1134), and also in an original Hebrew text probably written by the Jewish Prove…
Gersonide, le pseudo-Tūsi, et le postulat des paralléles
Euclid's Elements were translated into Hebrew from Arabic in the 13th century; but precious few of the Arabic commentaries have come down to us in a Hebrew version (al-Fārābī, Ibn al-Hayṯam). Nonetheless, a study of several texts dealing with the Fifth Postulate (the Parallel Postulate) of Book I reveals that the Hebrew authors are greatly indebted to Arabic sources. We shall examine three attempted proofs of the Parallel Postulate. The two attem…
