In this paper, I examine the opposition between direct proof and proof per impossibile , introduced by al-Sijzī (second half of the 10th century) in his treatise entitled The side is not commensurable with the diagonal . From this example he gives to illustrate this opposition, al-Sijzī argues the superiority of the direct proof. In this paper, I also give the editio princeps of his treatise, as well as its first translation
