HISTORY or NINE plGlTs.
Arabic Numerals Used in Europe In
Twelfth Century.

II has been a matter for discussion
when Arabic numerals first displaced
the more cumbersome Roman system
In Europe. There are few examples
OF Arabic figures in inscriptions that
can be regarded as genuine TO be
found In Great Britain before the six.
teenth century. though In Germany
some are found which date from the
fifteenth century; 1855 was supposed o
be the earliest date OF a manuscript
with Arabic numerals. but Sir James
Picton says that there Is an account
In the record Office of the year 1895.
which is Endorsed with that date by
ar Italian merchant.
In the Cambridge university library
there Is a Latin version Of a treatise
on the a%strolabe. dated 1916. In which
the Arabic numerals are quite freely
used. But Mr.. Axon. writing In the
Antiquary. mentions some still cal.
lier examples. Pope Leo XIII. pub
lished a work illustrating the artistic
collections of papal palace. In which
the the date 1247 appears on the sixth
plate OF the "Museo C%hristiano," and
In the Munich state library is a
Chronicle of Regensburg which Is of.
ficially described as the Oldest MS.
containing Arabic numerals and as
being written between the years 1167
and INA.
The Vatican ivory of 1247, the Cam.
bridge MS. Of 1915 and the Regens.

amples beyond dispute of the use Of
