Diophanti Alexandrini Opera Omnia, Vol. 1
Diophantus of Alexandria; Paul Tannery (ed.)
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work 'Diophanti Alexandrini Opera Omnia', edited by Paul Tannery (1893), is a critical edition of Diophantus's works, primarily presenting the Greek text with a Latin translation. While the 'Arithmetica' of Diophantus has been translated into English from the original Greek (e.g., by Heath, and more recently by Christianidis and Oaks), the specific Latin translation provided by Tannery in this edition has not been translated into English. Therefore, this is a 'first from source' case, as English translations exist from the original Greek, but not from the Latin text contained in this volume.
