Sinopsis

Exploring the principal properties of the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola through classical geometry.

In three books, this historical treatise presents conic sections with a clear, geometric approach. It emphasizes fundamental ideas and aims to make these ideas accessible to readers with a basic grasp of Euclid, focusing on how curves are generated and characterized using diagrams and concise logical steps.


Readers will encounter a traditional, diagram-driven presentation that mirrors the style of early modern geometry. The work foregrounds the relationships among conic figures, their axes, diameters, and focal concepts, staying close to geometric reasoning rather than algebraic abstractions.



  • Clear enunciations and step-by-step demonstrations of principal properties.

  • Guided construction methods for creating and analyzing conic sections.

  • Problems that illustrate the generation and use of ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas.

  • Historical context and emphasis on a purely geometric perspective.


Ideal for students of geometry, the history of mathematics, and readers seeking a classic geometric treatment of conic sections.
