The first six books of the elements of Euclid now available online by Harvard Library

The first six books of the elements of Euclid, with colored diagrams by Byrne was just made available by Harvard on Library (see below). This book is the “oldest math book” and of foundational relevance to mathematic as science (geometry). When Plato founded the Academy, back then the intellectual pinnacle of science, he engraved at its entrance “ΑΓΕΩΜΕΤΡΗΤΟΣ ΜΗΔΕΙΣ ΕΙΣΙΤΩ” (“Let no man ignorant of geometry enter.”) Below me, myself and I with the hard cover of this classic that I have in my library. https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:500797094$1i?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
