 its dedication by Simon GRVN.tus, Professor of Greek at Basel, to Ci'tiibert Tu;j3Tall, Bishop of Durham. Gryna'us 

 visited England two years before the publication of the alxive edition, and although already a reformer and friend of 

 Luther, was warmly reccivetl by Sir Thomas More, and doubtless also by Bp. Tunstall, whose equal orthodoxy, liberality, 

 and love of learning are well known.

—Brunet. The translation was made, apparently from the Arabic, by Adelard [^Ethelhard] of Bath. In his dedication 



the printer says that the difficulty of printing geometrical designs had hitherto made it impossible to print geometrical books ; 



but that this difficulty had been overcome so well by great painters, that ' qua facilitate litterarum oleraenta imprimuntur 



ea etiam geoinetrice figure conficerentur*.

The first complete edition of Euclid's works. The title and first leaf of text bear the stamp of the clerical 'censor, who 

 thought it needful to cut out the three preliminary leaves— an interesting instance of the rigidity of Ecclesiastical censure 

 at the period of the Reformation.
