This woodcut from the Margarita Philosophica of Gregorius Reisch, published in Freiburg1503, shows "Arithmetica" watching a competition between an "abacist" and an "algorist". Judging from the clothes of the two competitors, the abacist is a monk and the algorist a worldly scholar.
Arithmetica appears to favour the algorist; her own clothes are covered in Indian numerals, and she looks approvingly at the algorist's progress.
The association of the algorist with Boëtius and the abacist with Pytagoras is pure fiction; Boëtius for one did not have any knowledge of the Indian number system.
