One of the most famous works of mathematics.
First edition of the Le Mardelé translation.
He was violently attacked by Henrion in his "Apologetic Response..." for having advanced that he corrected in his translation of Euclid's Elements, the faults of his deferred and also those to Henrion himself.
Nevertheless, although nothing is known of his life, he seems to have been introduced to mathematics, for he published in 1626, a treatise on arithmetic.
