Apollonius of Perga's Conica
This volume contains a historically sensitive analysis and interpretation of Apollonius of Perga's Conica, one of the greatest works of Hellenistic mathematics. It provides a long overdue alternative to H. G. Zeuthen's Die Lehre von den Kogelschnitten im Altertum.

Conic Books I-IV
A single volume that combines Conics Books I-III and Conics Book IV (both by Apollonius of Perga). It supersedes the two-volume edition.
Apollonius: Conics Books V to VII
With the publication of this book I discharge a debt which our era has long owed to the memory of a great mathematician of antiquity: to pub lish the /llost books" of the Conics of Apollonius in the form which is the closest we have to the original, the Arabic version of the Banu Musil. Un til now this has been accessible only in Halley's Latin translation of 1710 (and translations into other languages entirely dependent on that). While I yield to none in my admiration for Halley's edition of the Conics, it is far from satisfying the requirements of modern scholarship. In particular, it does not contain the Arabic text. I hope that the present edition will not only remedy those deficiencies,...

Treatise on Conic Sections
Published in 1896, this translation of a classic work of Greek geometry uses modern notation and includes considerable introductory material.
Apollonius of Perga - Treatise on Conic Sections
Despite being generally unknown to the greats of contemporary mathematics, Apollonius s Conics is said by Chasles to contain the most interesting properties of conics . Written by one of the great pioneers of geometry, this scarce text contains a comprehensive account of the mathematics of conics, and as such constitutes a valuable to addition to the libraries of serious mathematicians and historians alike. Apollonius of Perga was a Greek geometer and astronomer, most famous for his work pertaining to conic sections and whose methodology and terminology influenced such intellectual giants as Ptolemy, Johannes Kepler, Francesco Maurolico, Isaac Newton, and Rene Descartes. This rare text is proudly republished here with an introductory biography of the author."
