Stomachion

Rose tells us that Lucretius is another who alludes to Stomachion. Do you want to add this, too? Rose is cited by Netz, Acerbi and Wilson in their paper, and Rose in turn draws attention to the letter of Oldham in Nature in 1926.

I sort of added it.--EntroDipintaGabbia (talk) 20:39, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So, do you now want to sort of add the references to Rose's Handbook (1934), which, like his note, refers to Oldham's letter in Nature in 1926, which attempts to reconcile Suter's translation of the the Arabic text with the Greek in the Palimpsest? Notice that the article as it stands does not make much sense without some such information. For example, what is the figure Archimedes is supposed to be discussing? It is nowhere illustrated and the caption of the figure that is illustrated seems to presuppose Oldham's reconciliation, which is not referenced. Notice, too, how the article by Netz, Acerbi and Wilson (NAW) undermines Netz' other published discussion of the Stomachion, because he nowhere tells us why he is using the Suter board in preference to what NAW find in the Palimpsest, although the references indicate that, if he checked them, he would know of Oldham's reconciliation ...

Of course, I cannot help noticing that you are familiar with Italian - in English, pagination is indicated by pp.. As you may know, several articles have also appeared in Italian in recent years. One that you might especially like to read, if you do not already know it, is

Giuseppe Morelli, Lo Stomachion di Archimede nelle testimonianze antiche, Bollettino di storia delle scienze matematiche, 29 (2009), Fasc. 2.

There is no shortage of further reading that might usefully be added ... without violating the stern prohibition on original research ...

Disambiguation link notification for October 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wyeomyia smithii, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fitness. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
