Recenzii

“Euclid’s Elements can be called a household name even among educated laypersons. … This volume contains a critical edition and an English translation of this treatise as well as a commentary on its more than 90 propositions. To fully appreciate it readers should have a firm knowledge of Greek and medieval Islamic mathematics … . It will therefore be an interesting addition to the literature primarily for experts.” (C. Baxa, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 201 (3), July, 2023)
