(2004) Classics in the history of Greek mathematics, Dordrecht, Springer.
The chapter on Methodological Issues surveys summarily the methodological debate initiated with the publication in 1975 of Sabetai Unguru's article "On the Need to Rewrite the History of Greek Mathematics" in the Archive for History of Exact Sciences. It includes, in addition to that article, the responses, in the same journal, of B.L. van der Waerden and André Weil, as well as Unguru's rejoinder to those, and other, responses (for example, Hans Freudenthal's), published in Isis.
