Archimedes 

The works that he had written have not survived. The information on the existence of seven of his treatises is through references made by other authors. His works were written in Doric Greek, the local language of Syracuse.

In 530 A.D, Byzantine Greek architect Isidore of Miletus was the first one to collect his writings.

In 6th Century A.D, Eutocius wrote commentaries on his works and these helped in bringing Archimedes work in the sphere of the common man.

During 836-901 A.D, Thābit ibn Qurra translated his work in Arabic and during 1114 – 1187 A.D Gerard of Cremona translated his work in Latin.

The works of Archimedes that survived are namely On the Equillibrium of Planes, On Spirals, On Measuremant of Circles, On Cuboids and Spheroids, On Floating Bodies, On Sphere and Cylinders, (O)stomachion, The Quadrature of the Parabola, The Method of Mechanical Theorem, Archimedes’s Cattle Problem and The Sand Reckoner.

Archimedes Palimpsest is the most illustrious document that contains Archimedes’ Works.
