Marginally interesting


 Diophantus-II-8

Here's a picture of a notable page from a relatively unknown book. Apparently the right margin was just big enough to hold this:

Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadrato-quadratum in duos quadrato-quadratos, et generaliter nullam in infinitum ultra quadratum potestatem in duos eiusdem nominis fas est dividere cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.
