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.
Priestly divisions The priestly divisions or sacerdotal courses (Hebrew: "mishmar" (מִשְׁמָר)) are ritual work groups in Judaism. According to 1 Chronicles , they were originally formed during the reign of King David. However, modern scholarship treats these priestly courses either as a reflection of practices after the Babylonian captivity, or as an idealized portrait of how the Chronicler thought temple administration ought to occur, with the reference to David being a method for the Chronicler to legitimize his views about the priesthood.
