中文简介：

发现19世纪最奇特和最美丽的书籍之一。奥利弗·伯恩（Oliver Byrne）的《欧几里德元素》版本将原色与数学的精确性结合在一起，展示了令人眼花缭乱的形式和几何学。每一页不仅预示着荷兰风格派和包豪斯学派的活力，也预示着定义当今数据消费的信息图形。这是一部艺术和科学的杰作。

色彩斑斓的欧几里得

奥利弗·伯恩（Oliver Byrne）的插图版《元素》

在蒙德里安提出几何学的红、黄、蓝线条的近一个世纪之前，19世纪的数学家奥利弗·伯恩就在其1847年版的欧几里德的数学和几何学论文《元素》中采用了这种色彩方案。伯恩的想法是用颜色来让学习更容易，并“扩散**的知识”。本书被描述为19世纪最奇特和最美丽的书籍之一。

伯恩这本生动的出版物现在有了美丽的新版本。作为艺术和科学的杰作，它的美丽在于它大胆的红、黄、蓝数字和图表的，也在于其数学理论的精确性。在简单的形式和色彩中，这些页面预示着风格派和包豪斯设计的活力。在让复杂信息同时具有可及性和美学吸引力方面，这部作品是信息图形的先驱，如今的信息图形定义了我们大部分的数据消费。

沃纳·欧奇斯（Werner Oechslin）主要研究艺术史、考古学、哲学和数学。1970年在苏黎世读完博士后，在麻省理工学院和哈佛大学任教。自1985年以来，欧奇斯一直是瑞士联邦理工学院的教授，1986年到2006年，他在该学院领导建筑历史和理论研究所。他的研究重点是建筑理论和建筑的文化历史。最近的出版物是《帕拉迪奥主义：安德烈·帕拉迪奥--作品和影响》（2008）。欧奇斯还是位于艾茵西登的沃纳·奥奇斯林图书馆的创始人。

英文简介：

Discover one of the oddest and most beautiful books of the 19th century. Oliver Byrne's edition of Euclid's Elements combines primary colors with mathematical precision in one dazzling display of form and geometry. Each page anticipates not only the vigor of De Stijl and the Bauhaus but also the information graphics that define today's data consumption. A masterwork of art and science.

Euclid in Living Color

Oliver Byrne's illustrated edition of Elements

Nearly a century before Mondrian made geometrical red, yellow, and blue lines famous, 19th-century mathematician Oliver Byrne employed the color scheme for his 1847 edition of Euclid's mathematical and geometric treatise Elements. Byrne's idea was to use color to make learning easier and “diffuse permanent knowledge.” The result has been described as one of the oddest and most beautiful books of the 19th century.

The facsimile of Byrne's vivid publication is now available in a beautiful new edition. A masterwork of art and science, it is as beautiful in the boldness of its red, yellow, and blue figures and diagrams as it is in the mathematical precision of its theories. In the simplicity of forms and colors, the pages anticipate the vigor of De Stijl and Bauhaus design. In making complex information at once accessible and aesthetically engaging, this work is a forerunner to the information graphics that today define much of our data consumption.

Werner Oechslin studied art history, archaeology, philosophy, and mathematics. After doctoral studies in Zurich in 1970 he taught at MIT and Harvard University. Since 1985 he has been a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, where he led the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture from 1986 to 2006. His research focuses on architectural theory and the cultural history of architecture. His most recent publication is Palladianismus: Andrea Palladio – Werk und Wirkung (2008). He is the founder of Bibliothek Werner Oechslin in Einsiedeln.
