Looking for an in-depth, scholarly commentary on the original Greek Elements of Euclid, deep diving in the linguistic as well as mathetical concepts
I realize this book may not exist. Heath's lengthy introduction to his edition of the Elements is an example of the level of scholarship I am hoping to find, but I am hoping to locate a study of the Elements with emphasis on the original Greek terms. I am imagining something that could have been written by a scholar on the level of Heiberg, if he had had the time. Thanks!
