摘要

Cusanus’ mathematical sources are exclusively in Latin. Besides the references to those thinkers who clearly had an impact on his philosophy of mathematics (Plotinus, Proclus, Boetius, Dionysius, etc.), in his mathematical texts few explicit quotations can be found from Euclid and mostly Archimedes, read through the mediation of works by Johannes Campanus, Thomas Bradwardine, Johannes de Muris, and John of Tynemouth.
