[edit] Summary

Work by Diophantus (died in about 280 B.C.), translated from Greek into Latin by Claude Gaspard Bachet de Méziriac. This edition of the book was published in 1621.

p. 85 contains Diophantus' problem II.VIII, and is the page where Pierre de Fermat famously wrote his "Last Theorem" for which the margin was too small to contain the proof.
