"Sesiano's description of the manuscripts is excellent. Furthermore, his translations are precise and readable, and his mathematical commentary is clear and useful. Overall, the work is a splendid contribution by Sesiano to the field of history of mathematics. The careful, critically edited Latin text will be of interest mainly to specialists, but the English translation and study will be of broader interest." (Toke Lindegaard Knudsen, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2016) "Sesiano's book is a milestone in the history of medieval mathematics. It not only makes available one of the most important mathematical treatises in an excellent edition with English translation, but also gives a detailed analysis of the different problems and the methods for solving them and presents a comprehensive glossary which is also useful for non-mathematical texts."
