Notes
[1] "Discipulus. Quis primus invenit numerum apud Hebræos et Ægyptios? Magister. Abraham primus invenit numerum apud Hebræos, deinde Moses; et Abraham tradidit istam scientiam numeri ad Ægyptios, et docuit eos: deinde Josephus." [Bede, De computo dialogus (doubtfully assigned to him), Opera omnia, Paris, 1862, Vol. I, p. 650.]
"Alii referunt ad Phœnices inventores arithmeticæ, propter eandem commerciorum caussam: Alii ad Indos: Ioannes de Sacrobosco, cujus sepulchrum est Lutetiæ in comitio Maturinensi, refert ad Arabes." [Ramus, Arithmeticæ libri dvo, Basel, 1569, p. 112.]
Similar notes are given by Peletarius in his commentary on the arithmetic of Gemma Frisius (1563 ed., fol. 77), and in his own work (1570 Lyons ed., p. 14): "La valeur des Figures commence au coste dextre tirant vers le coste senestre: au rebours de notre maniere d'escrire par ce que la premiere prattique est venue des Chaldees: ou des Pheniciens, qui ont été les premiers traffiquers de marchandise."
