Jusqu' une date rcente, on ne connaissait que six des treize livres que comprenaient originellement les Arithmtiques de Diophante d'Alexandrie. Quatre livres supplmentaires ont t rcemment dcouverts en traduction arabe. Nous sommes donc maintenant en mesure de comprendre le projet de l'auteur, l'organisation de l'ouvrage et son impact sur un millnaire et demi de recherche mathmatique. Le prsent livre offre la premire tude historique et mathmatique,  ce jour, de l'ensemble des dix livres.
