Commentaire historique et mathématique, édition et traduction du texte arabe. 1.2: Livre I: Édition et traduction du texte grec The treatise on conic sections by the Hellenistic mathematician Apollonius from Perga is regarded as a supreme achievement of Greek mathematics and maintained its authority right up to the 18th century.

Both versions of the text are accompanied by a French translation, an extensive mathematical commentary, numerous philological notes and a complete glossary.
