Abstract
Reading older mathematical texts always involves a hermeneutical dilemma: in order to make sense of the mathematical content of a given old text one wants to interpret it in modern terms; in order to see the difference between the modern mathematical thinking and older ways of mathematical thinking one wants to avoid anachronisms and understand the old text in its own terms (Unguru 1975).
