In his translations of Archimedes’ mathematical works, Iacopo da San Cassiano cannot use a Latin text belonging to the same literary genre as a model, but he can at least avoid Greek borrowings, amongst other things by resorting to semantic expansion and new derivations. As a result, his mathematical lexicon differs significantly from that of his predecessor, William of Moerbeke.

Abstract
In his translations of Archimedes’ mathematical works, Iacopo da San Cassiano cannot use a Latin text belonging to the same literary genre as a model, but he can at least avoid Greek borrowings, amongst other things by resorting to semantic expansion and new derivations. As a result, his mathematical lexicon differs significantly from that of his predecessor, William of Moerbeke.File in questo prodotto:
