Leonardo da Pisa, perhaps better known as Fibonacci (ca. 1170
ca. 1240), selected the most useful parts of Greco-Arabic geometry
for the book known as De Practica Geometrie. This translation
offers a reconstruction of De Practica Geometrie as the author
judges Fibonacci wrote it, thereby correcting inaccuracies found in
numerous modern histories. It is a high quality translation with
supplemental text to explain text that has been more freely
translated. A bibliography of primary and secondary resources
follows the translation, completed by an index of names and special
words.
