Anmerkungen
PMM 25; DSB IV, p.415: "Euclid's fame rests preeminently upon the Elements, which he wrote in thirteen books and which has exercised an influence upon the human mind greater than that of any other work except the Bible". Although stated differently on the title, only six books were published.
