Abstract

The mathematical treatises known as Tahrir al-mutawassitat, “Revision of the MIDDLE BOOKS”, are a collection of Greek and Arabic treatises which were re-edited by NASIR AL-DIN AL-TUSI. This paper explores the nature of the editorial work Tusi did, showing that it is not a simple rendering of the original text butthat it involves major revisions and in fact original additions. For the first time, a collated version of Tusi’s revision on thetreatise on the MEASUREMENT OF THE CIRCLE (by ARCHIMEDES) is provided. A translation of the Arabic text is put side by side with a rendition of the treatise as it was circulated before Tusi’s time. An in-depth analysis of the text elucidates the nature of Tusi’s contributions to the text. This article also provides modest corrections to earlier studies by W. R. Knorr and P. Luckey.
