This is the definitive edition of one of the very greatest classics of all time \u2014 the full Euclid, not an abridgement. Using the text established by Heiberg, Sir Thomas Heath encompasses almost 2,500 years of mathematical and historical study upon Euclid.

It covers textual and linguistic matters; mathematical analyses of Euclid\u2019s ideas; classical, medieval, Renaissance, modern commentators; refutations, supports, extrapolations, reinterpretations, and historical notes, all given with extensive quotes.
