Erwin Tomash Library Bolaffio, Jozé Vita Bonelli, Maria Luisa Righini Originally published in French in 1554, this Latin edition followed two years later. Boissière considered himself a mathematics teacher and used the game of Rythmomachia as a vehicle for teaching arithmetic. Smith (History of Mathematics) indicates that Of the three standard treatises on the ancient number game of Rythmomachia … this is the clearest. All three are represented in this collection (see entries for Barozzi, 1572, and Jordanus, 1514), and the other entries should be consulted for details. It is perhaps the clearest because it is, by far, the longest of the three and thus contains more detailed explanations of everything from the shape of the game board to the shapes of the pieces. According to Folkerts, Boissière’s history of the game is faulty. An English translation of this work is in J. F. C. Richards, “Boissière’s Pythagorean game,” Scripta Mathematica, vol. 12 (1946) pp. 177–217.
