First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
'Heronis Alexandrini Opera quae supersunt omnia' is a multi-volume critical edition of the Greek texts of Hero of Alexandria, published by Teubner. While individual works by Hero (such as 'Pneumatica' or 'Mechanica') have been translated into English separately, there is no complete English translation of the entire 'Opera quae supersunt omnia' collection as published in the Teubner series. Therefore, this specific critical edition has not been translated as a whole.
