Focusing on the critical examination of Diophantus' Arithmetica, this edition presents Books IV to VII, available only through a newly discovered Arabic translation. The work stems from a doctoral dissertation and includes a thorough critical text alongside the English translation. Significant enhancements are made in the mathematical commentary and the Arabic index, with fresh discussions on Greek and Arabic interpolations. Additionally, it reconstructs the historical journey of the Arithmetica from Diophantine to Arabic contexts, reflecting the author's gratitude toward his adviser for their support.
