Samenvatting

The book deals with Gerbert of Aurillac (Pope Sylvester II) and his investigations in the field of theoretical and practical arithmetic. It is mainly based on an analysis of Gerbert’s so-called scientific letters. An attention is paid to the philosophy of numbers (Saltus Gerberti, quadrivium) and practical counting (Hindu-Arabic numerals, abacus).
