1683 Elements EUCLID Greek Mathematics Logic Geometry Math Illustrated French
“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. ‘Elements’ deals with practices in mathematics, such as finding and using square and cubic measures, as well as finding geometric angles of quadrilaterals. According to many mathematicians, this work is “the most influential book of mathematics of all time.”
This 1683 French edition of Euclid was published in Paris and was edited by Claude Francois Millet Dechalles, who included numerous in-text sketches throughout. 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.
