Critical editions Translations Latin language Mathematics Geometry 12th century Medieval Leonardo da Pisa

Leonardo Fibonacci represents, without any doubt, one of the most loved and well-known personalities in the Western world. His reputation is primarily linked to the famous series of numbers named after him, even though he was above all a great science writer, who played a founding role in the history of mathematics, as well as in the history of culture. Over the years, his books have been studied by prominent scholars, who have instigated large debates and produced translations, giving his work a broader outreach than just academic circles. However, we are still lacking philological and linguistic studies, which could illuminate the most difficult aspects of his mathematical language. This article will examine some recurring technical nouns of the Practica Geometrie. The simplest and apparently most elementary words may in fact be very elusive and ambiguous; moreover, they might cause problems for even the most experienced and careful interpreter.
