Euclid's Book on Divisions of Figures: Large Print By Archibald Raymond Clare, Euclid (Authored by), Fibonacci Leonardo (Authored by), Woepcke Franz (Authored by) Originally published in 1915, this book contains an English translation of a reconstructed version of Euclid's study of divisions of geometric figures, which survives only partially and in only one Arabic manuscript. Archibald also gives an introduction to the text, its transmission in an Arabic version and its possible connection with Fibonacci's Practica geometriae. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Greek mathematics, the history of science or the reconstruction of ancient texts. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

EUCLID, famed founder of the Alexandrian School of Mathematics, was the author of not less than nine works. Approximately complete texts, all carefully edited, of four of these, (1) the Elements, (2) the Data, (3) the Optics, (4) the Phenomena, are now our possession. In the case of (5) the Pseudaria, (6) the Surface-Loci, (7) the Conics, our fragmentary knowledge, derived wholly from Greek sources, makes conjecture as to their content of the vaguest nature. On (8) the Porisms, Pappus gives extended comment. As to (9), the book On Divisions (of figures), Proclus alone among Greeks makes explanatory reference. But in an Arabian MS., translated by Woepcke into French over sixty years ago, we have not only the enunciations of all of the propositions but also the proofs of four of them.Whilst elaborate restorations of the Porisms by Simson and Chasles have been published, no previous attempt has been made (the pamphlet of Ofterdinger is not forgotten) to restore the proofs of the book On Divisions (of figures). And, except for a short sketch in Heath's monumental edition of Euclid's Elements, nothing but passing mention of Euclid's book On Divisions has appeared in English.
