The book deals with Gerbert of Aurillac (Pope Sylvester II) and his
investigations in the field of theoretical (philosophy of numbers)
and practical (counting) arithmetic. The book represents the
comprehensive inquiry of both these aspects of arithmetic in his
thought. The analysed sources are Gerbert's so-called scientific
letters written to his friends, colleagues or pupils, and also
including some of his other texts. On this basis, attention is paid
to arithmetic as the mother of all sciences and as the path to
wisdom (e.g., the so-called Saltus Gerberti, relation between
arithmetic and other disciplines of the quadrivium, etc.) and also
to practical arithmetic (e.g., the introduction of Hindu-Arabic
numerals and the re-introduction of a new form of abacus to the
Latin Christian West).
