Abstract

This chapter deals with Archimedes' Stomachion - mathematical analysis of the ancient jigsaw of the same name. It contains complete and commented translation of all extant fragments: Arabic and Greek.

The translation of the Greek fragment is based on the new reading of Archimedes palimpsest, which was recently published. The first part of the chapter is devoted to analysis of testimonia.
