In Albert the Great’s 13th century, a larger circulation of the complete Arabic-Latin translations of Euclid’s Elements, done by Adelard of Bath, Robert Chester, and John of Tinemue begins to take place, alongside Gerald of Cremona’s translation of Al-Nayrizi’s Commentary on Euclid’s Elements. The aim of this paper is to present how Albert the Great deals with the combination of these two traditions, i.e., the Arabic-Latin ranslations of Euclid and the Latin medieval geometrical practice.
