Abstract	:	Leonardo Fibonacci (d. after 1241 C.E.) was one of the transmitters of Arabic mathematical knowledge to Christian Europe and the only mathematician known by name who transmitted matters inspired by practical and commercially useful arithmetic. He was born in Pisa, probably between 1170 and 1180, a son of Guglielmo de filiis Bonaccii, whence the modern surname Fibonacci. Outside Pisa he referred to himself as pisano (“from Pisa”), while two documents from Pisa and several of his introductions identify him as bigollo, probably meaning “the traveller” (Bonaini; Ulivi, 247–54).
