Euclid (alt: Euklid, Eucleides) : 365 - 300 BC Euclid's The Optics is the earliest surviving work on geometrical optics, and is generally found in Greek manuscripts along with elementary works on spherical astronomy. There were a number of medieval Latin translations, which became of new importance in the fifteenth century for the theory of linear perspective. This technique is beautifully illustrated in the miniature of a street scene in this elegant manuscript from the library of the Duke of Urbino. It may once have been in the possession of Piero della Francesca, who wrote one of the principal treatises on perspective in painting.

Life and work
Of Euclid's life it is known only that he taught at and founded a school at Alexandria in the time of Ptolemy I Soter , who reigned from 323 to 285/283 BC. Medieval translators and editors often confused him with the philosopher

One gets a very strong impression, that those architects were of Turkish origin, after reading the biography of them presented in http://www.greatbuildings.com/architects/Isidoros_and_Anthemios.html I would like to provide you with a few references that should help you correct this:

The older elements were at once superseded by Euclid's and then forgotten. For his subject matter Euclid doubtless drew upon all his predecessors, but it is clear that the whole design of his work was his own, culminating in the construction of the five regular solids, now known as the Platonic solids.

    Quantitative observation in Greek astronomy
    Required Preparation
    • In Irby-Massie and Keyser, skim the introduction to the chapter on astronomy (pp 47-50), and read closely the selections from Autolycus of Pitane (#3.1, pp 50-53) and Aristarchos of Samos (#3.3, pp. 53-55).
    Be sure you know approximate dates for each author, and the broader subject of the written treatises these extracts are taken from.
    Questions
    Compare Autolycus and Aristarchus. Consider the following questions:
    • What kinds of problems does each author address? What kinds of formal proof does each employ? What role does empirical observation play in each author's work?
