As a historian, he specialised in the history of mathematics in Naples before 1860, which he explicated in a two-volume work entitled ''Vita matematica napoletana''; volume I (1905), volume II (1924). At the University of Naples from 1905 to 1922, he taught a course on the history of mathematics. |
