Abstract

In this paper the Author illustrates an interesting although failed attempt by Giacomo Macrì of producing a new improved version of a valuable monograph of his on Francesco Maurolico (1494-1575), a Sicilian scientist who played a first-rate role in promoting mathematical research. This attempt goes back to the very first years of the last century and its interest lies in the involvement of a team of distinguished scholars.
