The MediMath project. Old and new challenges of the study of medieval mathematics in the Mediterranean world

Medieval and Early Modern Mediterranean Mathematics” (MediMath) is a project on the history of algebra, arithmetic and geometry (in their mutual applications) as they were developed in a broad geographical space that I propose to call the “Mediterranean world”. In this presentation, I will briefly introduce the project, its goals and some of the challenges that characterize the study of the sources included in the MediMath corpus and of medieval sources more in general.
