Apollonii Pergaei Quae Graece Exstant, Vol. I (Heiberg 1891)
Apollonius of Perga (ed. J.L. Heiberg)
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work 'Apollonii Pergaei Quae Graece Exstant' (1891), edited by J.L. Heiberg, is a critical edition of the original Greek text of Apollonius of Perga's 'Conics', not a Latin translation. While English translations of Apollonius's 'Conics' exist (such as T.L. Heath's 1896 work, which is based on the Greek text), there is no English translation of a Latin version of this specific edition, as the edition itself is in Greek. Therefore, this is a case of 'first_from_source' because English translations exist from the original Greek, but not from the (non-existent) Latin text of this specific edition.
