An anonymous commentary on Euclid's Elements, preserved in two manuscripts in Hyderabad, India, presents an interesting example of a mathematical commentary composed almost entirely from quotations drawn from earlier commentators. The author most frequently used is al-Anṭākī. Several other commentators are named – Ibn al-Haytham and al-Nayrīzī are frequently mentioned, as well as Ibn Hūd. The commentary reveals an author well-versed in the Euclidean tradition who quotes both accurately and intelligently. Image 1
