“The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God”

– Euclid

 

A rare and important study on the theories of Euclid. These theories include ancient Greek ideas on mathematics, particularly geometry. This book deals with practices in mathematics, such as finding and using square and cubic measures, as well as finding geometric angles of quadrilaterals.

 

This 1683 ‘new edition’ of the Elements of Euclid, which was originally printed in French in 1672, was edited and improved by Claude-François Milliet de Chales. According to Backer, two editions of Euclid’s Elements were published in 1683 by different publishers. However, this edition by Michallet, includes over 100 more pages than the lesser-edition. This printing also includes in-text illustrated figures throughout.
