Number theory revived in Europe with the rediscovery of Diophantus by Bombelli, and the publication of a new edition by Bachet de Méziriac (1621). It was this book that inspired Fermat and launched number theory as a modern mathematical discipline—one that draws on resources from all parts of mathematics.
