One occasionally wishes for more context than this intriguing study provides. A sketch of a typical early modern mathematical education, for instance, would offer some measure of the conceptual distance of these less conventional approaches. More emphasis might be placed on the very different media of the images examined in this work. The many quarrels within the world of Euclidean geometry—the fidelity of various editions and translations of the Elements to its author’s imagined intentions, the nature of proof, the availability and relevance of a method, the role of diagrams, the changing definitions of ratio and proportionality, the legitimacy of conceptual outliers such as curvilinear angles and superposition, among others—might be examined in tandem with the objections being raised just beyond that realm. Other desiderata would include larger, clearer images, more attention to the impact of European notions, however distorted, of mathematical notions and artistic practices beyond the continent, and some examination of the other scholarly areas that, like mathematics, were claiming to offer a metalanguage as they jockeyed for position as the master discipline.}, number={4}, journal={RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY}, author={Sylla, Edith Dudley}, year={2019}, pages={1468–1469} }

In his Tractatus primus, Burley applied the logic of first and last instants to reach novel conclusions about qualities and qualitative change. At the end of his Quaestiones in libros Physicorum Aristotelis, William of Ockham used long passages from Burley’s Tractatus primus, sometimes agreeing with Burley and sometimes disagreeing.

He assumed that the players’ relative strengths could be determined a posteriori or by observation. Bernoulli’s work shows an alternate route by which mathematics was applied to the real world in the seventeenth century, one which did not involve Platonic conceptions of the role of mathematics, but rather the techniques of commercial arithmetic and, in particular, of algebra.}, number={1}, journal={NUNCIUS-JOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE}, author={Sylla, Edith Dudley}, year={2013}, pages={142–163} }
