Abstract: The treatise begins by referring to the story of Archimedes using an array of mirrors to burn the Roman galleys in the harbour of Syracuse during the siege of 215-212 BC. This was discussed in a book by Anthemius of Tralles, a Greek mathematician who lived around 500 CE and was the chief architect of the basilica of Hagia Sophia built in Constantinople under Justinian I.
