abstract = "When I had set out to publish the [Conics] of Apollonius, it disturbed us not to a small degree that in the Arabic Codex the last book of the Conics was missing. But you, as it is by [your] happy nature, felt at once that there is no need to deplore [the loss], but that surely to some degree it could be restored, given the fact that in Pappus{\textquoteright} Mathematical Collection, [Pappus] himself passed on lemmas serving [what] was to be demonstrated in the seventh and the eighth book of the Conics at the same time; whereas in the other books, different [lemmas] to the different [books] are provided.",
