The Greek astronomer and geometrician Apollonius of Perga
(c.262-c.190 BCE) produced pioneering written work on conic
sections in which he demonstrated mathematically the generation of
curves and their fundamental properties. His innovative terminology
gave us the terms 'ellipse', 'hyperbola' and 'parabola'. The Danish
scholar Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1854-1928), a professor of classical
philology at the University of Copenhagen, prepared important
editions of works by Euclid, Archimedes and Ptolemy, among others.
Published between 1891 and 1893, this two-volume work contains the
definitive Greek text of the first four books of Apollonius'
treatise together with a facing-page Latin translation. (The fifth,
sixth and seventh books survive only in Arabic translation, while
the eighth is lost entirely.) Volume 1 contains the first three
books, with the editor's introductory matter in Latin.
