Vassilios A.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book.

I never thought that I would be able to find the Ancient Greek book (and its translation in English) after 4 or more decades in the USA.
I am thankful to this excellent book for providing the original Pythagorean Hellenic document. I love it.

I've made the decision to study all the extant works in Greek mathematics that are available in English. This book is an excellent start. The only thing that surprised me was the physical size, it's probably 7" x 4"- a little smaller than I was expecting.
