1195 _ _ ANOTHER COPY, hf. bound (one leaf torn and defective), with contemporary MS. notes and 

 diagrams on margin, 2. 2s 



THE FIRST EDITION OF THE ORIGINAL GREEK TEXT ; for the first Latin translation (1482) see post. ' Le Proclus n'a ete 



reproduit depuis : c'est pourquoi notre edition est encore aujourd'hui indispensable, surtout parceque Barozzi, qui 1'a 

 suppleee dans sa version d'apres des MSS., n'a pas reimprime le texte grec.' Grwsse. This edition is also interesting from 

 its dedication by SIMON GRYNyaus, Professor i.f Greek at Basel, to CITTHBERT TUNSTALL, Bishop of Durham. Grynseus 



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

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

 and love of learning are well known.

' PREMIERE EDITION de cette version, et un des plus anciens livres imprimes ou se trouvent des figures de mathematiques'. 

 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 elementa imprimuntur 

 ea etiam geometrice 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

 last 2 II. defective, otherwise a very clean and tall copy], 16s Qd
