First Translation
This text has not previously been translated into English.
The primary text of the 1503 'Tetragonismus' is the medieval treatise on the quadrature of the circle attributed to Campanus of Novara. This text was edited and printed by Lucas Gauricus in 1503. A complete English translation of this specific version of the quadrature (the 'Campanus version') was published by Marshall Clagett in 'Archimedes in the Middle Ages', Volume 1 (University of Wisconsin Press, 1964), pp. 581-609. Clagett provides both the Latin text (based on the 1503 edition and manuscripts) and a full English translation.
