Abstract

This article presents an overview of Byzantine Rechenbücher and an edition of two of them, earlier than any other published Rechenbuch. Along with the edition, a translation and a commentary are provided, as well as a complete thematic Greek-English glossary and an edition of the earliest known Byzantine table of decomposition of common fractions into unit fractions.

Keywords: Byzantine Mathematics, Byzantine Rechenbücher, Codex Laurentianus Plut. 86.3, Codex Parisinus suppl. gr. 387
