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.
Abraham ibn Akra Abraham ibn Akra or Abraham ben Solomon Akra was a Jewish-Italian scholar and editor of scientific works who lived at the end of the 16th century. He edited the work "Me-Harere Nemerim" (Venice, 1599), a collection of several methodological essays and commentaries on various Talmudic treatises. Akra is the author of a methodological treatise on the "Midrash Rabbot," which Isaiah Horowitz (של"ה) embodied in his work "Shene Luḥot ha-Berit" (ed. Amsterdam, p. 411), without credit. The same thing occurs in the Vilna edition of the "Midrash Rabbot," where Akra's treatise is reproduced from the "Shene Luḥot ha-Berit." Akra's work appeared originally as an appendix to the "Arze Lebanon," a collection of kabalistic essays, Venice, 1601. Abraham makes there the interesting statement that he saw in Egypt the manuscript of the "Midrash Abkir." This is the last trace of the existence of that small "midrash."
