| Titolo: | The geometry of burning-mirrors in antiquity / Wilbur R. Knorr. |
| Abstract: | "Less sensational, but more edifying for the historian of science, are the treatments of the geometry of burning-mirrors by mathematicians like Diocles (third century B.C.) and Anthemius (6th century A.D.) ... The project of the present study is to trace the course of this technical development, while conveying a sense of the textual difficulties encountered in documents of this type." |
