Textes & documents - A new source for medieval mathematics in the iberian peninsula: the commercial arithmetic in Ms 10106 (Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid)

Javier Docampo Rey (2009)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

This paper contains a critical edition of a short commercial arithmetic written in Castilian (ca. 1400). The manuscript has certain characteristic features, like the presence of composite fractions, that distinguishes it from other known treatises of the Iberian peninsula. The document appears to improve considerably our knowledge of the origins and the transmission of vernacular commercial arithmetic in Europe.
