An early 15th-century algebra codex: a description (Q580318)

This article describes the character and contents of a codex, now in the library of Arizona State University, Tempe, containing an algebra text in Italian of Master Dardi of Pisa, as yet an unidentified Italian abacist of the early 14th century. As such it complements an earlier article by \textit{W. Van Egmond} [Hist. Math. 10, 399-421 (1983; Zbl 0526.01008)]. Attention is paid to the author, scribe, and dating of the codex, mathematical expressions found therein, and the possibility that this codex was used by Mordecai Finzi for his translation of Dardi's algebra into Hebrew (Paris, BN, MS Hebreu 1029, ff. 194r-234r) in 1469.
