"This book provides the first English translation of the Greek text of the Spherics
of Theodosios (2nd-1st century BCE), a canonical mathematical and astronomical text
used from as early as the 2nd century CE until the early modern period. Accompanied
by an introduction to the life and works of Theodosios and a contextualization of
his Spherics among other works of Greek mathematics and astronomy, the translation
is followed by a detailed commentary, and an accessible English paraphrase accompanied
with mathematically generated diagrams. The volume has a broad appeal to both general
and specialist readers who do not read ancient Greek - allowing readers to understand
the mathematical and astronomical principles and methods used by ancient and medieval
readers of this important text. The paraphrase with its mathematical diagrams will
be useful for readers with a scientific and mathematical background. This study of
one of the canonical mathematical and astronomical texts of the ancient Greco-Roman,
classical Islamic, and medieval Christian worlds provides an invaluable resource for
historians of science, astronomy, and mathematics, and scholars of the ancient and
medieval periods"
