VD16 E 4139. Adams Books printed on the continent of Europe E 979 and 1011 respectively. With many incorrect page numberings in the text. This copy is bound in a different order from that indicated by VD16, but it is complete. With text in Latin and Classical Greek. The second work is a reissue of the 1570 edition in which Heron of Alexandria’s attributed “Geometrica” and ”Stereometrica” was published for the first time. These works is now, however, not considered to have been authored by Heron; rather, it contains “so many additions that it is impossible to know what is genuinely Heronian and what is not” (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). Conrad Dasypodius (1530/32–1600/1601) was professor of mathematics at the University of Strasbourg. ”Dictionary of Scientific Biography” writes: ”Confident that the mathematics of his time was far below the Greek level, Dasypodius desired, as did many of his contemporaries (e.g., Commandino and Ramus), publication of all Greek mathematical works. Since he himself owned several manuscripts, he was able to make a beginning in that direction. He edited and translated works of Euclid (partly with and partly without proofs), som fragments of Hero, and (in his Sphaericae doctrinae propositiones) the propositions of the works of Theodosius of Bythinia, Autolycus of Pitane, and Barlaamo. His textbooks, too, show his knowledge of Greek mathematics”.
