Greek Mathematics
Some images from the following works of ancient Greek mathematics have been digitized:
Archimedes, Archimedous ta sozomena meta (Oxford, 1792). (This text is the source for the image this week.)
Aristarchus, De magnitudinibus (Pisauri, 1572).
John Dee and Federico Commandino, Libro del modo di dividere le superficie attribvito a Machometo Bagdedino (Pesaro: Girolamo Concordia, 1570).
Euclides, The 13 Books of Euclid's Elements (Heath editor) (Cambridge, 1908).
Euclides, Data... Graece nunc primum edidit, Latin Vertit (Lvtetiae Parisorum, 1625)
Euclides, Elementorum libri XV (Pisavri, 1572).
Euclides, Optica & Catoptrica (Parisiis, 1557).
Euclides, Phaenomena: Post Zamberti (Romae, 1591).
Euclides, Prospettiva (Fiorenza, 1573).
Euclides, Solo Introdvttore delle Scientie (Vinegia, 1543).
Euclides, Solo Introdvtore Delle Scientie Mathematice (Venetia, 1565).
Primarily the images from these works consist of title pages and frontispieces. The Euclidean images also focus on text images of the parallel postulate.
