Beautiful, and would be so much more beautiful if it used a modern font, without these weird cs and fs. I actually had to copy-paste "reproduction" to convince myself that this is a c character, and I'm not reading something in some ancient version of english with characters that I've never seen.

The reprint of the Byrne edition of Euclid is the most beautiful book I have, and I have more shelf-metres of books than I have fingers and toes. It will always have a prominent place in my home. This website day have been what got me into it -- I don't remember.
It's also fun to try to replicate the proofs!

Are there any interactive elements to this? It looks like a noninteractive presentation of the book as a webpage.
