This book is Volume I of the first authoritative translation of his works into English. It is also the first publication of a major ancient Greek mathematician to include a critical edition of the diagrams and the first translation into English of Eutocius' ancient commentary on Archimedes. Furthermore, it is the first work to offer recent evidence based on the Archimedes Palimpsest, the major source for Archimedes, lost between 1915 and 1998. A commentary on the translated text studies the cognitive practice assumed in writing and reading the work, and it is Reviel Netz's aim to recover the original function of the text as an act of communication. Particular attention is paid to the aesthetic dimension of Archimedes' writings. Taken as a whole, the commentary offers a groundbreaking approach to the study of mathematical texts. 606 $aMathematics, Greek 606 $aGeometry$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aMechanics$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aMathematics, Greek. 615 0$aGeometry 615 0$aMechanics 676 $a510 700 $aArchimedes$02812 701 $aArchimedes$02812 702 $aNetz$b Reviel 702 $aEutocius$cof Ascalon, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965466003321 996 $aWorks of Archimedes$9354853 997 $aUNINA
