At the beginning of the 9th century, under the rule of Harun Rashid, the mathematician Hajjaj ibn Youssef was entrusted by the royal family and funded to translate the first Arabic version of Geometry Elements, called Harun Edition.
During the reign of Ma Meng, Hajjaj ibn Youssef deleted and supplemented the translation of Elements of Geometry according to other manuscripts, making its content more simplified, and retranslated an Arabic version called Al-Mamun version. There are six translations, probably 13, now in Leiden, the Netherlands.
Ishag thought that the Arabic version of Elements of Geometry was not ideal, so he decided to retranslate it himself, but his translation was not preserved. The Iraqi mathematician Tabi ibn Kula revised the translation of Ishag and completed the Arabic translation of Volume 15, which contains 478 propositions and is called Ishag-Tabibin. The Oxford University Library now has two copies of the translation.
The mathematician Nasir al-Ahldin rearranged and compiled an Arabic translation "Elements of Geometry", which was completed in A.D. 1248, and was divided into two versions: a large version and a small version.
Among them, the large version 1594 was published in Rome and can only be seen in Florence, Italy; The mini-edition consists of 15 volumes and contains 468 propositions, which are widely circulated. It was printed in Constantinople in 180 1 year, and the first six volumes were printed in Calcutta in 1824, which can be seen in London, Paris, Berlin, Munich and Istanbul.
On the elements of geometry;
Elements, also known as Elements, is a mathematical work written by Euclid, an ancient Greek mathematician. This book was written around 300 BC. Since the first edition of 1482 was printed and published, there have been more than 0/000 different editions of/kloc-0. It is the foundation of European mathematics, summarizes five postulates of plane geometry, and is widely regarded as the most successful textbook in history.
Geometric elements have 13 volumes. Based on 23 definitions, 5 postulates and 5 axioms in 1,19 volumes, 465 definitions, 465 propositions and proofs are given, including some contents of plane geometry, solid geometry and elementary number theory.
This book is the basis of Euclid's geometry and the most widely circulated book in the west after the Bible.
The Elements of Geometry is an immortal work that combines the thoughts of predecessors and Euclid's personal creativity, and this book has also become the cornerstone of European geometry. It marks the first time that human beings have completed their understanding of space, and geometry has become a discipline with a relatively strict theoretical system and scientific methods.
This book lists some recognized facts as definitions and axioms, and uses these definitions and axioms to study the properties of various geometric figures by formal logic, thus establishing a set of geometric argumentation methods to prove propositions and obtain theorems from axioms and definitions, and forming a strict logical system-geometry.
