That phrase occurs throughout the Wp article, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid%27s_Elements "Proclus ... wrote in his commentary on the Elements: ..." " Although known in Byzantium, the Elements was lost to Western Europe until about 1120, ..." "Scientists Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton were all influenced by the Elements, and applied their knowledge of it to their work." (But thanks for spotting the fact that "of" was missing: "... of the Elements".) |
