      abstract = {This book discusses the changing conceptions about the  relationship between geometry and arithmetic within the  Euclidean tradition that developed in the British context  of the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Its focus is on  Book II of the Elements and the ways in which algebraic  symbolism and methods, especially as recently introduced by  Francois Viete and his followers, took center stage as  mediators between the two realms, and thus offered new  avenues to work out that relationship in idiosyncratic ways  not found in earlier editions of the Euclidean text. Texts  examined include Robert Recorde's Pathway to Knowledge  (1551), Henry Billingsleys first English translation of the  Elements (1570), Clavis Mathematicae by William Oughtred  and Artis Analyticae Praxis by Thomas Harriot (both  published in 1631), Isaac Barrows versions of the Elements  (1660), and John Wallis Treatise of Algebra (1685), and the  English translations of Claude Dechales French Euclidean  Elements (1685). This book offers a completely new  perspective of the topic and analyzes mostly unexplored  material. It will be of interest to historians of  mathematics, mathematicians with an interest in history and  historians of renaissance science in general.},
