Eudoxus of Cnidus: References & Edit History

The surviving fragments of Eudoxus’s writings are collected in Die Fragmente, ed. and trans. by François Lasserre (1966). For Eudoxus’s theory of proportion, see Wilbur Richard Knorr, The Evolution of the Euclidean Elements (1975), and “Archimedes and the Pre-Euclidean Proportion Theory,” Archives internationales d’histoire des sciences, 28 (103): 183–244 (December 1978); and Ian Mueller, Philosophy of Mathematics and Deductive Structure in Euclid’s Elements (1981). For his general contributions to astronomy, see O. Neugebauer, A History of Ancient Mathematical Astronomy, 3 vol. (1975); but for his lunar and planetary models, see Henry Mendell, “Reflections on Eudoxus, Callippus and their Curves: Hippopedes and Callippopedes,” Centaurus, 40 (3–4): 177–275 (1998).
