| Research Abstract |
We have developed a software DRaFT which enables easy and accurate reproduction of mathematical diagrams which appear in manuscripts. The reproduction of the diagrams in major manuscripts of following works has been published: Euclid’s ElementsBooks VI, XI, XII, XIII (including those of Book XII in Bologna manuscript, which are considerably DIFFERENT from other traditions, and have been inedited), Arabic version of Menalaus’ Spherics by Al-Harawi. The reproduction as well as the software is available at http://www.greekmath.org. We have also made some suggestions concerning the principle of critical assessment of variants of diagrams in different manuscripts.
