LEGENDRE, Éléments de géométrie, 1862

Adrien-Marie Legendre's (1752-1833) Elements of Geometry is one of the most influential geometry textbooks of the 19th century, both in France and abroad. First published in 1794, it aimed to replace Euclid's Elements with a more didactic approach, while retaining axiomatic rigor. This 1862 edition, with additions and modifications by A. Blanchet, testifies to the longevity and adaptation of Legendre's work to successive school curricula. The introduction to this work is authorized by decision of the Ministry of Public Instruction, emphasizing its status as an official reference work.
