Drawing upon the works of Fibonacci, Giovanni Sacrobosco, Giordano Nemorario, and Prosdocimo de’ Beldomandi, he composed a Summa of the mathematical knowledge acquired in the West since the thirteenth century. In the field of arithmetic and algebra, his work often served as a starting point for the more advanced research conducted by later mathematicians. Also noteworthy are his relations with Piero della Francesca and Leonardo da Vinci.
