Kritik
"Glasner and Baraness do an excellent job in not only translating Alfonso's work but in explaining some of his technical terms ... ." (Victor J. Katz, MAA Reviews, January 30, 2022)

"The book under review is very complete and useful for historians of medieval mathematics. It offers us, in a modern language more accessible than Russian for our community, one of the rare geometric texts of the Hebrew medieval tradition with very appreciable mathematical comments." (Marc Moyon, zbMATH 1472.01012, 2021)mehr
