This classic study by the eminent Dutch historian of science E. J.
Dijksterhuis (1892-1965) presents the work of the Greek
mathematician and mechanical engineer to the modern reader. With
meticulous scholarship, Dijksterhuis surveys the whole range of
evidence on Archimedes' life and the 2000-year history of the
manuscripts and editions of the text, and then undertakes a
comprehensive examination of all the extant writings. Originally
published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
