有人以为几何是Geometry前三字母Geo的譯音,这是錯的。明徐光启(1562-1633)和利瑪竇(1552-1610)合譯几何原本前六卷(1607),几何之名首見于此。几何二字的意义在几何原本卷一前面說:“凡曆法、地理、乐律、算章、技艺、工巧諸事,有度有数,皆依赖十府中几何府属。”十府就是明李之藻(1565-1630)所譯古希腊哲学著作名理探中的十伦。西洋人艾儒略(1582-1649)所著的西学凡(1623)中也說:“十宗伦郎天地間万物十宗府。……依輯則分而为九:一为几何。”又說:“几何之学名曰馬特馬第加,譯言察几何之道。”馬特馬第加郎Mathematica。又名理探也說:“凡測量几何性情而不及于其所依賴者是之謂純,类属有二:一、測量并合之几何,是为量法,西云日阿默第亚。一、測量数目之几何,是为算法,西云亚利默第加。”其中日阿默第亚即Geometria,亚利默第加郎Arithmetica.由是知当时翻譯
Some people think that geometry is the transliteration of Geometry, the first three letters of Geometry. This is wrong. Ming Xu Guangqi (1562-1633) and Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) compile the first six volumes (1607) of the original geometry. The meaning of geometry is stated in front of the original volume of the geometry: “All the calendars, geography, rhythms, calculations, techniques, and workmanship are various and depend on the geometry of ten government houses.” The ten houses are the altars of Ming Li (1565- 1630) The Ten Commandments in the Exploration of Ancient Greek Philosophical Works. The western scholar (1623) written by the Westerner Aleni (1582-1649) also said: “Ten ten houses of ten things in the heavens and the earth.... The collection is divided into nine: one is geometry.” Say: “The name of Geometry is Mathematica. Translate into Geometry.” Matt Mathiam. Renamed Richard also said: “Where the measurement of geometric conditions is less than what they depend on is pure, there are two kinds of generics: One, measuring the geometry of the merger, is the measure, West Yunri Amedia. First, the geometry of the number of measurements, is for the algorithm, Xiyuna Limerdiga.” The day Amodia ie Geometria, Alime Garang Arithmetica.
