While Byrne&#x27;s is beautiful, I prefer having the cross-references and additional analysis of <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;aleph0.clarku.edu&#x2F;~djoyce&#x2F;java&#x2F;elements&#x2F;bookI&#x2F;propI1.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;aleph0.clarku.edu&#x2F;~djoyce&#x2F;java&#x2F;elements&#x2F;bookI&#x2F;propI1....</a>.

Nice project, but usage of the long s &quot;ſ&quot; makes this somewhat unpleasant to go through. Also it&#x27;s a medieval character, Euclid didn&#x27;t know of it, so is it purely to decorate the text? To make it feel more ancient?

I would love to someday see a version of this or a hardcopy of Byrne’s version but with the original greek text and a modern apparatus criticus.

This is very beautiful. Your other projects are inspiring as well. Thank you so much for sharing.

Lovely site, thanks for sharing. Much nicer to look at than my beat up old Dover edition.
