Euclidis Opera Omnia, Vol. 6 (Optica, Catoptrica, et al.)
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work in question is Volume 6 of the Teubner edition of Euclid's Opera Omnia, edited by J.L. Heiberg and H. Menge (1895). This volume contains the Greek text of Euclid's Optica and Catoptrica, accompanied by a Latin translation. While English translations of Euclid's Optica and Catoptrica exist (translated directly from the Greek), there is no English translation of the specific Latin translation provided in this 1895 edition. Therefore, this is a case where English translations exist from the original source language (Greek), but not from the Latin text contained in this specific volume.

J.L. Heiberg strips away centuries of editorial interference to reveal the authentic Euclidean text. Readers will uncover how ancient scribes and scholars like Theon of Alexandria altered the foundation of mathematics.
