Spherics is still by and large unknown. This treatise, which lies at the foundation of spherical geometry, is lost in Greek but has been preserved in its Arabic versions. The reader will find here, for the first time edited and translated into English, the essentials of this tradition, namely: a fragment of an early Arabic translation and the first Arabic redaction of the Spherics composed by al-M?h?n? /al-Haraw?, together with a historical and mathematical study of Menelaus? treatise. With this book, a new and important part of the Greek and Arabic legacy to the history of mathematics comes to light. This book will be an indispensable acquisition for any reader interested in the history of Ancient geometry and science and, more generally, in Greek and Arabic science and culture. 410 0$aScientia Graeco-Arabica ;$vBand 21. 606 $aGeodesics (Mathematics) 606 $aSphere 606 $aGeometry, Differential 606 $aCurves on surfaces$xMathematical models 606 $aSurfaces$xMathematical models 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGeodesics (Mathematics) 615 0$aSphere. 615 0$aGeometry, Differential. 615 0$aCurves on surfaces$xMathematical models. 615 0$aSurfaces$xMathematical models. 676 $a516.362 700 $aRa?shid$b Rushdi?$0745318 702 $aPapadopoulos$b Athanase 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467323803321 996 $aMenelaus' Spherics$92471893 997 $aUNINA
