The geometry of Peter Remus (1569),'' while essentially logical, shows a marked departure from Euclid in the sequence of sub- ject-matter and the treatment thereof. Parallels are treated as in Euclid but the theory of proportion is omitted.
In the beginning of the seventeenth century, Jean Errard^ wrote his edition of Euclid, and in 1678, Nicholas Mercator ' Bouvelles, op. cit., p. 4.
^ Thus when showing how to draw two lines equidistant, he says that two lines having a common perpendicular wil
...l not meet, by virtue of this perpendicularity, fol. 8 (verso).
' Bouvelles' book was very popular, for it went through many editions.
The Latin was printed in 1511. The first French edition was printed in 1542. This was followed with some alterations by editions in 1547, 1551, 1555, 1566, 1605, and 1608.
■* Edition of 1627 referred to here.
Les neuf premiers livres des iUmens d'Eudide, 1605.
76 History of the Teaching of Elementary Geometry produced a work* showing the influence of Euclid, but its inde- pendence of the "Elements" is quite marked.
