The thesis "The Arabic Translation of Theodosius's Sphaerica" is an edition of the Istanbul manuscript Topkapi Seray Ahmet III 3464.2. Included is a comparative apparatus of the Greek and Arabic texts showing possible correspondence between the posited Greek exemplar of the translator and the various Greek manuscript traditions reported by J.L. Heiberg in his critical edition of the text. Further differences are pointed out in the English Trajislation. There is also a glossary of terminology- giving listings from Greek to Arabic and Arabic to Greek. An appendix discussing the execution of the drawings in the Arabic manuscript and their relation to the Greek drawings as reported by Heiberg is also given. Other appendices include a chart representing the convention seemingly adopted by the translator for lettering the drawings, a listing of inconsistent grammatical usage found in the manuscript, parallel passages from the Greek text, the text of the present edition, the versions of al-Maghribi and al-Tusi, and a privately owned manuscript, and finally a list of interlinear sigla found on the first few folios of the manuscript the purpose of which is unclear.

This dissertation traces the reception of Greek mathematics by practicing mathematicians in England and France, ca. 1580-1680. The period begins with the newly widespread availability of works by Pappus, Apollonius, and Diophantus; it concludes with the invention of calculus by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. The dissertation focuses on a philological imaginary created by François Viète (fl. 1580-1600) that I call “the myth of Greek algebra”: the belief that the ancient Greek geometers concealed their heuristic method and only presented their results. This belief helped mathematicians accommodate ancient Greek works to their own mathematical ends; it helped mathematicians sustain the relevance of Greek texts for their own inventions. My study focuses on Viète, Rene Descartes, John Wallis, Isaac Newton, and Gottfried Leibniz: I show how these mathematicians continually renovated the relationship between ancient and modern mathematics in order to maintain continuity between their discoveries and the past. In order to do so, I argue, they became increasingly conscious of their professional identity as mathematicians, and they asserted their unique right—over philologists and philosophers—to interpret ancient mathematical texts. Mathematical community with the ancients was purchased at the cost of community with one’s non-mathematical contemporaries.
