It is shown that at least three Iranian Arabic writing mathematicians based the theory of irrationals on the study of remainders in unending Euclidean algorithms but only one of them understood it well enough to work with it to produce results. The author concludes that the intricacies of what today is the theory of continued fractions were sometimes understood but not really mastered in the Arabic speaking scientific world. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1007.00014].
