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.
Samuel ben Nahman Samuel ben Nahman (Hebrew: שמואל בן נחמן‎ ‎ ) or Samuel [bar] Nahmani (Hebrew: שמואל [בר] נחמני‎ ‎ ) was a rabbi of the Talmud, known as an amora, who lived in the Land of Israel from the beginning of the 3rd century until the beginning of the 4th century. He was a pupil of R. Jonathan ben Eleazar (Pes. 24a) and one of the most famous haggadists of his time (Yer. Ber. 12d; Midr. Teh. to Ps. ix. 2). He was a native of the Land of Israel and may have known the patriarch Judah I (Gen R. ix.). It appears that he went to Babylon in his youth but soon returned to Israel (Sanh. 96b).
