I'm in the same boat as only finding repeating stuff; but for other's reference, here is the repeating stuff:
The earliest known attempt at dealing with division by zero comes from Brahmagupta in 628 (in the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta). His definition is as follows (non division-by-zero axioms ommited):
1) A non-zero number divided by 0 is a fraction with zero as the denominator.
2) Zero divided by a non-zero number is a fraction with zero as the numerator and the finite quantity as the denominator
3) Zero divided by zero is zero.
