The bulk of the manuscript from which these folios orginated were sold at Christie's London, 11 April 1994, Lot 61.
The earliest known Arabic translations of the Elements are those translated by Al-Hajjaj b. Yusuf b. Matar under the Caliphs Harun al-Rashid (786-809 AD) and al-Ma'mun (813-833 AD). Six books of the 'Ma'muni' translation survive in the Codex Leidensis (399,I), thus being the earliest known extant copy of Elements in Arabic. The work was apparently next translanted by Abu Ya'qub Ishaq b. Hunain b. Ishaq al-'Ibadi (d.910AD) and improved on by Thabit b. Qurra; two versions of this exist in the Bodelian Library dated 1238 AD and 1260-1AD. Other versions apparently followed this, but the next extant version known was not written until the 13th century by Nasr al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274 AD).
The earliest known copies in other languages are: a copy in the Bodelian Library dated 898 AD (D'Orville X.), two tenth century versions in the Vatican (no.190) and in the Laurentian Library at Florence (MS.XXVIII,30, an eleventh century one in Vienna 9Philos.Gr. No.103).
