Notice that Scot was always careful to claim that he was merely 'copying' the words of the ancients (or Arabs or some other authoritative source). Everybody, it seemed, was obliged to do this whether they were or they weren't. Modern scholars always take them at their word. Whether they were or they weren't. It would be interesting to delve into the true origin of the Fibonacci Series itself.
