【 摘 要 】
The unusual edition of Elements of Euclid released for publishing in 1847 by Oliver Byrne offers the occasion to suggest a few elements for discussion on the uniqueness of the ârepresentationâ of geometric-mathematical thinkingâand more in general of the abstract thinkingâenshrined in its ânature of a pure imaginative vision able to connect the intelligible with the tangibleâ. The purpose is, thus, a reasoning on images and communicative artefacts, that, when articulated, provide different variations of the idea of âtranscriptionâ of complex theoretical structures from one language (that of abstract logic) to another (that of sensory experience), with a view to facilitate, ease and make more accurate the noetic process. Images able over time to facilitate the understanding of complex and abstract theoretical principlesâsince able to show them in an extremely concrete way, ad oculos,âand which at some points could reveal the horizons of art interpretation to inscrutable and figurative meaningless formulas.
