From Archimedes by Thomas Little Heath.

The _editio princeps_ of the works of Archimedes with the commentaries of Eutocius was brought out by Hervagius (Herwagen) at Basel in 1544. D. Rivault (Paris, 1615) gave the enunciations in Greek and the proofs in Latin somewhat retouched. The _Arenarius_ (_Sandreckoner_) and the _Dimensio circuli_ with Eutocius's commentary were edited with Latin translation and notes by Wallis in 1678 (Oxford). Torelli's monumental edition (Oxford, 1792) of the Greek text of the complete works and of the commentaries of Eutocius, with a new Latin translation, remained the standard text until recent years; it is now superseded by the definitive text with Latin translation of the complete works, Eutocius's commentaries, the fragments, scholia, etc., edited by Heiberg in three volumes (Teubner, Leipzig, first edition, 1880-1; second edition, including the newly discovered _Method_, etc., 1910-15).

Of translations the following may be mentioned. The Aldine edition of 1558, 4to, contains the Latin translation by Commandinus of the _Measurement of a Circle_, _On Spirals_, _Quadrature of the Parabola_, _On Conoids and Spheroids_, _The Sandreckoner_. Isaac Barrow's version was contained in _Opera Archimedis_, _Apollonii Pergoei conicorum libri_, _Theodosii Sphoerica_, _methodo novo illustrata et demonstrata_ (London, 1675). The first French version of the works was by Peyrard in two volumes (second edition, 1808). A valuable German translation, with notes, by E. Nizze, was published at Stralsund in 1824. There is a complete edition in modern notation by T. L. Heath (_The Works of Archimedes_, Cambridge, 1897, supplemented by _The Method of Archimedes_, Cambridge, 1912).
