520 This volume brings together a number of leading scholars
working in the field of ancient Greek mathematics to
present their latest research. In their respective area of
specialization, all contributors offer stimulating
approaches to questions of historical and
historiographical 'revolutions' and 'continuity'. Taken
together, they provide a powerful lens for evaluating the
applicability of Thomas Kuhn's ideas on 'scientific
revolutions' to the discipline of ancient Greek
mathematics. Besides the latest historiographical studies
on 'geometrical algebra' and 'premodern algebra', the
reader will find here some papers which offer new insights
into the controversial relationship between Greek and pre-
Hellenic mathematical practices. Some other contributions
place emphasis on the other edge of the historical
spectrum, by exploring historical lines of 'continuity'
between ancient Greek, Byzantine and post-Hellenic
mathematics. The terminology employed by Greek
mathematicians, along with various non-textual and
material elements, is another topic which some of the
essays in the volume explore. Finally, the last three
articles focus on a traditionally rich source on ancient
Greek mathematics; namely the works of Plato and
Aristotle.
