Ben, 

      This is a very good "mathematical biography" of 
    Leonardo Pisano ("Fibonacci").  As I think you appreciated,
    it's decidedly odd that he is mostly known today by a 
    name that he would not have recognized (he never used it 
    himself), and that he is best remembered for what amounts
    only to a very small part of what he did. This is not all
    that rare, though.  What is remembered of a mathematician's
    work is mostly determined by what other people are able to
    understand and make use of. 

      The main comment I have is that I think it would
    have been interesting to look for more information about
    his book called the "Liber Quadratorum" (Book of Squares)
    in addition to the works that you discuss.  There, we
    can see some direct influence from the Diophantos-style
    theory of solving numerical equations.  This work also
    became the source of later results in number theory by
    some very influential 18th and 19th century mathematicians.
