First edition of books v-vii.  The Arabic version was made by Thabit ibn Qurra (836-901 AD) and the Latin by Abraham Ecchellensis (d. 1664), who also added his version of the lemmata or Liber assumptorum of Archimedes from the Arabic Kitab al-ma’khudat (version reprinted in Heiberg’s edition of Archimedes ii, 510-525), a short tract which had previously been published by John Greaves in Samuel Foster’s Miscellanea of 1659.
