Ramus have allerede nogle år tidligere udgivet Euclid, men disse var mindre lærebøger i uddrag og på latin. Oversættelsen indeholder en lang introduktion af Ramus "Betænkning om Euclidis Elementer og om deres Oversættelse i det Danske Sprog."Ziegenbalg var teologisk kandidat, men havde studeret matematik i flere år, både i Jena og i England. Han blev udnævnt til professor i matematik ved Københavns Universitet efter Ramus, og havde i nogle år forinden fungeret som dennes assistent. Hans oversættelse er dedikeret Christian den VI, og i forordet introducerer han den således "offereres (oversættelsen) Deres Kongelige Majestæt.disse udi det Danske Sprog oversatte Elementa Geometriæ, som ere Hoved=Kilden til alle Mathematiske Videnskaber og have nu i 2000 Aar været i saa stor Estime, at alle de største og erfarne Mathematici have grundet deres Skrifter paa dem og at de til almindelig Nytte og Brug ere bekientgiorte næsten udi alle Europæiske, men ey tilforn i dette Sprog."First edition of the first Euclid-translation into Danish, comprising Book 1-6 and 11-12.

Venetia, Curtio Trojano, 1565. 4to. Bound in a very nice recent hcalf in old style. Raised bands and richly gilt back. 315,(1) leaves (=632 pp).

Light browning to first and last leaf. 6 last leaves with a faint dampstain. Very light browning to outher margins. Otherwise a fine clean copy. Scarce second edition of Tartaglia's very influential translation of all Euclid's 15 Books, as this Italian translation of Euclid was the first translation at all into the vernacular. The translation by Tartaglia was first published 1543 and was founded on the latin edition of Campanus and Zambetti.Niccolo Fontana of Brescia has a great name in the history of mathematics. A cut in the face from a French soldier caused him to stammer and as a consequence of this he was called 'Tartaglia'. He is famous for his solution of third-degree equations which occasioned a long polemic with Cardano about priority. He is also known for "Tartaglia's Triangle", later known as "Pascal's Triangle", and he is well-known for his Archimedes-edition of 1543 and 1551 with his commentaries."The most famous source of Greek geometry is the monumental work of Euclid of Alexandria, called the "Elements" (around 300 B.C.). No other book of science had a comparable influence on the intellectual development of mankind. It was a treatise of geometry in thirteen books which included all the fundamental results of scientific geometry up to his time. Euclid did not claim for himself any particular discovery, he was merely a compiler. Yet, in view of the systematic arrangement of the subject matter and the exact logical procedure followed, we cannot doubt that he himself provided a large body of specific formulations and specific auxiliary theorems in his deductions. It is no longer possible to pass judgement on the authorship of much of this material" his book was meant as a textbook of geometry which paid attention to the material, while questions of priority did not enter the discussion."

The 1537- edition was reprinted 1546 and in 1558 (the present)."The most famous source of Greek geometry is the monumental work of Euclid of Alexandria, called the "Elements" (around 300 B.C.).
