Question

Description acceptable. The most widely (15[1])reprinted medical book in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was a sex manual with this unusual property called its author’s “masterpiece.” (15[2])A text with this property introduced a paradox in which the inner surface (15[1])of a thick wheel (15[1])travels further than its circumference in one rotation. (15[1])Thomas Aquinas showed that a text with this property derived the maxim “all is in all” from Proclus’ Elements. (15[1])The Ottoman “circle of justice” was first described by a text with this property, which is shared by Mechanics and the (*) Book of Causes. (-5[1])Abu Yahya (10[1])ibn al-Batriq (10[2])translated the Syriac edition of a treatise on politics, astrology, and alchemy with this attribution that greatly influenced Roger Bacon, called the Secretum Secretorum. For 10 points, describe the attribution of that 10th-century Arabic text framed as a letter from the “First Teacher” to his student, Alexander the (10[1])Great. ■END■ (10[1])
