First edition of the Ecchelensis translations of both works, the first published version of Books V - VII of Apollonius's Conics, which only survive in the Arabic version of Abu 'l-Fath al-Isfahani, based on the translation of Thabit ibn Qurra. Apollonius introduced the terms ellipse, parabola and hyperbola. The first four books of the Conics "probably contain little that was not alreay known ... Books V - VII seen to contain the discoveries which he himself had made" (Smith, History of mathematics, I, p. 117). These books were presumed lost (the eighth is still lost) until Borelli discovered an Arabic manuscript in the Medici library in Florence. Abraham Ecchelensis was a Maronite, born in Syria, who died in Rome 1664. He was professor of Arabic and Syriac in Rome and Paris. The Archimedes was translated from another Arabic manuscript in the Medici library, a translation from the Greek by Thabit ibn Qurra: as with the Apollonius, the Greek original of this text does not survive.

Arcolani's is of one of the most important commentaries on that part of the Canon on fevers, itself one of the most widely studied sections of the greater work (required to be studied in the University of Bologna by a statute of 1405). First published in 1489, this was also the most frequently reprinted commentary, appearing for the last time so late as 1685 in Padua. "If the number of commentaries is any guide, the most highly valued of all the parts of the Canon used in teaching practica was Book + especially its first section of fevers ... The earliest known Latin commentary on a part of the Canon is on this section (Siraisi). Arcolani's commentary is here printed with two Latin versions of Avicenna's text, the translation of Gerard of Cremona (the text which Arcolani knew), and the translation of Andrea Alpago as corrected by Benedictus Rinius.
