«Über Menelaos' Sphärik» is Axel Anthon Björnbo's doctoral thesis on Menelaus' Sphaerica, in hardback (62 pages, in German).
The Greek text of Menelaus' Sphaerica has been lost, and what is known of it comes from Arabic translations and the Hebrew and Latin versions made from them. Arab scholars often revised the work repeatedly, so its transmission history is quite complex.
Facsimile reprint by Forgotten Books (2018); the subtitle corresponds to the inaugural dissertation of the Faculty of Philosophy, Section II, of the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich.
Work for readers interested in the history of geometry and the transmission of classical scientific texts.
