Internal characteristics help to situate them within existing families of Arabic primary transmission manuscripts. These two manuscripts add further details to the existing historical narrative of the Arabic Euclidean transmission. I also describe basic features of an anonymous Arabic summary/commentary on the Elements found in ms. 2060.
