“This book is an English version, with expansions and improvements ... . this book is not an argument to be read cover-to-cover, but rather serves as a repository for many of the insights and views that the author developed over his years of working on these sources. ... This is an important book on the language of Greek mathematical texts, and scholars of these sources will find much that is useful in its pages.” (Nathan Sidoli, MAA Reviews, March 29, 2024)“This is a deep and detailed linguistic study of ancient Greek mathematical texts. … This wide-ranging book exploits the resources of several disciplines including classical philology, manuscript studies, statistical analysis, and computational linguistics, as well as the history and philosophy of mathematics. It will doubtless be much used as a reference work in those disciplines.” (Paul Thom, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2022)
