The content of the Mishnat ha-Middot resembles the work of this 1st Century AD Egyptian mathematician.
Mishnat ha-Middot The Mishnat ha-Middot (Hebrew: מִשְׁנַת הַמִּדּוֹת‎ ‎ ; "treatise of measures") is considered the earliest known Hebrew treatise on geometry. The treatise was discovered in the Munich Library by Moritz Steinschneider, who dated it between 800 and 1200 C.E. Hermann Schapira argued the treatise dates from an earlier period and Solomon Gandz conjectured Rabbi Nehemiah (c. 150 C.E.) to be the author. The content resembles both the work of Hero of Alexandria (c. 100 C.E.) and that of al-Khwārizmī (c. 800 C.E.) and the proponents of the earlier dating therefore see it linking Greek and Islamic mathematics.
Judah the Prince Judah the Prince (Hebrew: יהודה הנשיא‎ , "Yehudah HaNasi" or "Judah HaNasi") or Judah I, also known as Rabbi () or Rabbenu HaQadosh (, "our Master, the holy one"), was a second-century rabbi and chief redactor and editor of the "Mishnah". He was a key leader of the Jewish community during the Roman occupation of Judea. According to the Talmud he was of the Davidic line, the royal line of David, hence the title "nasi" "prince". The title "nasi" was also used for presidents of the Sanhedrin. Judah HaNasi died on 15 Kislev, AM 3978 (around December 1, 217 CE).
