Ancilla to the Pre-Socratic Philosophers: 42. Hippocrates...

Ancilla to the Pre-Socratic Philosophers, by Kathleen Freeman, [1948] Hippocrates of Chios flourished during the latter half of the fifth century B.C. (Aeschylus was the name of one of his pupils). He was the first to write a text-book of mathematics, called the Elements. Parts of it were incorporated by Simplicius in his Commentary on the Physics of Aristotle; but the work itself is lost.
