The new critical edition of Heron's Mechanics, here presented with all its sources, is the consequence of the unexpected discovery of four Persian manuscripts, which opened an unexplored field research and offered new perspectives, both of philological and scientific character, in interpreting this text. Besides, contrary to what is thought, the analysis has revealed the possibility that some Italian scientists of the Renaissance could have known, totally or partially this important work by Heron.
