In his compendium of Euclid's Elements , Francesco Maurolico modifies the theory of proportions. The Sicilian concentrates on equalities of ratios of Book 5 and tries to avoid handling of equimultiples. He concentrates on isolating ``named'' ratios -- of a number to a number -- and he constantly compares ratios and named ratios. The paper presents the manuscript and the circumstances of its writing, singles out Maurolico's works to find other occurences related to the theory of proportions, analyzes the 5th book of the compendium insisting on the modifications, gives the edition as well as the French translation.
