Concordantia Geometrica (Cross-Corpus Concordance)¶
Linking Leonardo Pisano’s Loci to Euclid, Heron, Archimedes, Pacioli, and the GEOMETOR Canon
This concordance maps the principal propositions and algebraic constructions of Leonardo Pisano’s Practica Geometriae (1220), Flos (1225), and Liber Abaci (1202/1228) across ten sister repositories in the GEOMETOR Digital Scriptorium and symbolic engine.
