Elements, divided into 13 "books" (title-page of the present book mentions 15 books), is a comprehensive treatise on mathematics and geometry. "Euclid's fame rests preeminently upon the Elements ... which exercised an influence upon the human mind greater than that of any other work except the Bible... Each book of the Elements is divided into propositions, which may be theorems, in which it is sought to prove something, or problems, in which it is sought to do something" (DSB).The two blank flyleaves damaged, title-page slightly foxed, and occasionally some minor foxing or faint water stains. Overall in good condition.l Poggendorff I, col. 320; Neue Deutsche Biogr. II, p. 681; for Euclid see: DSB IV, pp. 414-459; not in Smith, Rara arithmetica.
