Abstract: The geometry in codex 80 of the Capitular Archive has traditionally been understood as a complete text and attributed to Gerbert of Aurillac (c. 940-1003). From a new reading of the text, we can say that it is a miscellaneous writing about geometry,
composed of three independent parts: one containing the Geometria Incerti Auctoris apocryphical by Gerbert of Aurillac (c. 940-1003); another one is a fragment of De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii by Martianus Capella (fl . 430) from Ergasticis Schematibus of Book VII of the Geometry; and fi nally there is a gloss to the Elementa by Euclides (c. 325-c. 265 bC.) by Al-¿ajj¿j ibn Y¿suf ibn Ma¿ar (786-833). The interpretation of the geometrical propositions provides knowledge about the indirect measure of places which are inaccessible using medieval instrumental, the astrolabe, mirrors, cane and squares. La geometria del còdex 80 de l¿Arxiu Capitular de Tortosa ha estat tradicionalment atribuïda, com un text únic, a Gerbert d¿Orlhac (c. 940-1003). Una nova lectura del text ens permet assegurar que es tracta d¿un text de caràcter miscel·lani de geometria, ompost per tres textos independents: una part pertany a la Geometria Incerti Auctoris apòcrifa de Gerbert d¿Orlhac; una altra, al fragment De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii de Marcià Capella (fl . 430) Ergasticis Schematibus, del llibre VII de la Geometria; i, finalment, s¿hi llegeix una glossa als Elementa d¿Euclides (c. 325-c. 265 aC.) d¿Al-¿ajj¿j ibn Y¿suf ibn Ma¿ar (786- 833). La interpretació de les proposicions de la geometria dóna el coneixement de la mesura indirecta de llocs als quals no es pot accedir amb l¿instrumental medieval, és a dir, amb astrolabi, miralls, bastons i escaires.
