http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/analysis/s3.html

In the document Ancient Conceptions of Analysis, three conceptions of analysis were identified, ancient Greek geometry, Plato’s dialogues and Aristotle’s Analytics. Notably includes Galen’s amalgam in the context of medicine, and the Neoplatonists’ theological transformation of Plato’s method of division. There are three notions, Calcidius’s Commentary on the Timaeus, the Neoplatonism and ancient Greek geometry. The richest analysis in renaisance philosophy is the Summulae de Dialectica.
