Best known for his 1906 discovery of lost texts in the Archimedes
Palimpsest, Danish scholar Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1854 1928),
professor of classical philology at Copenhagen, published numerous
editions of ancient mathematicians, including Archimedes and
Apollonius of Perga (also reissued in this series). Between 1898
and 1907, he published in three parts the extant astronomical works
of Ptolemy, active in second-century Alexandria. The Ptolemaic
system, his geocentric model of the universe, prevailed in the
Islamic world and in medieval Europe until the time of Copernicus.
This second part of Volume 1, published in 1903, contains a brief
Latin preface and the Greek text of Books 7-13 of Ptolemy's major
astronomical treatise, known as the Almagest. It demonstrates how
to use astronomical observations to construct cosmological models
and includes tables that make it possible for celestial phenomena
to be calculated for arbitrary dates."

Volume 2, published in 1907, contains a brief preface and a
substantial prolegomena in Latin, followed by the Greek text of
Ptolemy's shorter astronomical works, including Phaeis aplanon
asteron, a treatise on the phenomena of the fixed stars, and
Hypotheseis ton planomenon, his planetary hypotheses representing
the most influential statement of his geocentric model, provided
here with a facing-page translation into German."

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.

addition to other Greek fragments and ancient commentaries, notably
that of Eutocius, as well as the editor's Latin prolegomena
comparing the various manuscript sources.
Published in 1879, this Latin dissertation was the first
substantial work on Archimedes by the Danish philologist and
historian Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1854-1928), who the following year
embarked on editing the three-volume Archimedis Opera Omnia (also
reissued in this series). Much later, in 1906, he discovered a
palimpsest containing previously unknown works by the Greek
mathematician. The Quaestiones includes chapters on the life of the
famous scientist of Syracuse, a discussion of his works and
explanations of his mathematical and scientific ideas, as well as a
survey of the extant codices known to the author. It also contains
the Greek text, edited and annotated by Heiberg, of Archimedes'
Psammites (The Sand Reckoner), a mathematical enquiry into how many
grains of sand would fit in the universe. This includes mention of
a heliocentric solar system, speculation about the size of the
Earth, and Archimedes' other views on astronomy.
Published in 1880-1, this three-volume edition of the extant works
of the Greek mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse (c.287-c.212 BCE)
was edited by the Danish philologist and historian Johan Ludvig
Heiberg (1854-1928), whose Quaestiones Archimedeae (1879) is also
reissued in this series. He later discovered a medieval palimpsest
containing lost works by Archimedes, which significantly expanded
the canon, but the present collection was produced long before this
and therefore contains the works known at the time of publication.
Heiberg consulted a Florentine codex, which he painstakingly
compared with other sources to produce his edition. This third
volume contains the editor's Latin prolegomena - his own extended
essay on the works of Archimedes - followed by the commentaries on
Archimedes by Eutocius of Ascalon (c.480-c.540) and indexes. The
texts are given in the original Greek with parallel Latin
translation, notes and introductory material.

the Measurement of a Circle and On Conoids and Spheroids. The texts

volume contains On Spirals, On the Equilibrium of Planes, The Sand
Reckoner, The Quadrature of the Parabola, On Floating Bodies, the
Liber Assumptorum (now thought to be apocryphal), the cattle
problem and fragments. The texts are given in the original Greek
with parallel Latin translation, notes and introductory material.
