HARDBACK Binding in Dust wrappers. small peeling on the top of the wrapped cover, other than that, the Book in very good condition. These treatises by the Greek mathematician Autolykos of Pitane were written around 320 B.C.They form the oldest material on Greek mathematical astronomy that has survived in a well preserved form.This book contains the complete text in Greek and in English. The Greek text is based on the critical edition of Joseph Mogenet. The English translation is published here for the first time. The Books of Autolykos deal with the simple geometry of points and large circles on a sphere, applying the axiomatic method systematically for the first time. This is the method by which we have all learnt our geometry and which has been the basis of western mathematical thinking for the subsequent twenty-three centuries.
