Euclid's Elements is a mathematical treatise consisting of thirteen books attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid in Alexandria, Egypt, around 300 BC. The first six books of the Elements cover elementary plane geometry, including the theory of parallel lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles. The remaining books deal with solid geometry, number theory, and the construction of geometric figures using only a straightedge and compass.Euclidis Elementorum Libri Priores Sex, Item Undecimus And Duodecimus: Ex Versione Latina Frederici Commandini (1747) is a Latin edition of the first six books, as well as the eleventh and twelfth books, translated by Frederico Commandino and published in 1747. Commandino was an Italian mathematician and translator who made significant contributions to the study of ancient Greek mathematics.This edition of Euclid's Elements is a valuable resource for students and scholars of mathematics, as well as anyone interested in the history of mathematics. It includes detailed diagrams and explanations of Euclid's theorems, as well as commentary and analysis by Commandino. The book is written in Latin, which was the language of scholarship in Europe at the time of its publication, and includes a preface by Commandino explaining his translation process and his admiration for Euclid's work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
