Notabilia Arithmetica: a Jesuit mathematics school book
Résumé
In this paper we take a look at an arithmetic textbook from 1703 called Notabilia Arithmetica that belongs to the holdings of the old school library of a former Jesuit gymnasium in Germany and that was edited there, too. We analyse the book in regard to its content and possible integrated methodical aspects in order to find out more about mathematics education in Jesuit schools in the early modern period. The book shows us thateven though mathematics played a minor role in Jesuit education and was basically limited to Euclid in the general teaching rulepractical arithmetic must have been taught to a considerable degree, so that an arithmetic textbook was a necessary means for teachers.
