This book provides an introduction to the transmission of Euclid's Elements of Geometry from the Middle East to the Latin West during the medieval period, and an annotated English translation of Book I of the Commentary of al-Nayrizi on Euclid's Elements.
For more than two millennia, the Elements of Geometry by the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria (ca. 300 B.C.E. ) was held to be "the supreme example of the exercise of human reason" and "a paradigm of rational certainty" (from the preface, after Simon Blackburn). The Commentary of al-Nayrizi on Book I of Euclid's Elements of Geometry introduces readers to the transmission of Euclid's Elements from the Middle East to the Latin West in the medieval period and then offers the first English translation of al-Nayrizi's (d. ca. 922) Arabic commentary on Book I.
The Three Volumes are also available as set (ISBN 0 391 04197 5)
