Beautiful, and would be so much more beautiful if it used a modern font, without these weird cs and fs. I actually had to copy-paste "reproduction" to convince myself that this is a c character, and I'm not reading something in some ancient version of english with characters that I've never seen.
The reprint of the Byrne edition of Euclid is the most beautiful book I have, and I have more shelf-metres of books than I have fingers and toes. It will always have a prominent place in my home. This website day have been what got me into it -- I don't remember.
It's also fun to try to replicate the proofs!
This is looking really beautiful! For a long time I've wanted to have a nice edition of the elements in the original greek. There are some pdfs around but they look rather uninspired. Something like Byrne's edition in greek would be so lovely! Though this is not a straight translation but quite reworked to make it more graphical, so probably wouldn't work too well with the original text without some work anyway.
St. John's College FTW!
Are there any interactive elements to this? It looks like a noninteractive presentation of the book as a webpage.
Whats up with the typos? Is it the fonts? I have no problem reading it but i wanted my kid to read it
