About This Item
London: Printed for the Bibliographical Society, 1926 4to (28.5 cm), VII, 67 pp, 13 plates. Publisher's cloth backed boards, uncut (bottom corners slightly scuffed). Exquisitely printed on wove paper, this volume presents a classical yet profoundly useful bibliography of incunabula and 16th-century editions of Euclid's Elements, the most frequently printed book after the Bible. Following an insightful overview introduction, the book offers annotated lists covering Greek, Greek and Latin editions of the first six books with demonstrations, editions in both Greek and Latin of the enunciations, translations into contemporary European languages and Arabic, as well as fragmentary editions in various languages. Based on the remarkable collection of Thomas-Stanford, one of the earliest of its kind, this bibliography stands as an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, shedding light on the enduring legacy of Euclid's seminal work.
