The twentieth century is the period during which the history of
Greek mathematics reached its greatest acme. Indeed, it is by no
means exaggerated to say that Greek mathematics represents the
unique field from the wider domain of the general history of
science which was included in the research agenda of so many and so
distinguished scholars, from so varied scientific communities
(historians of science, historians of philosophy, mathematicians,
philologists, philosophers of science, archeologists etc. ), while
new scholarship of the highest quality continues to be produced.
This volume includes 19 classic papers on the history of Greek
mathematics that were published during the entire 20th century and
affected significantly the state of the art of this field. It is
divided into six self-contained sections, each one with its own
editor, who had the responsibility for the selection of the papers
that are republished in the section, and who wrote the introduction
of the section. It constitutes a kind of a Reader book which is
today, one century after the first publications of Tannery,
Zeuthen, Heath and the other outstanding figures of the end of the
19th and the beg- ning of 20th century, rather timely in many
respects.
