EUCLIDES
Dedomena. Data. Opus ad veterum geometriae autorum Archimedis, Apollonii, Pappi, Eutocii, caeterorumque non modo lectionem, sed ad Geometricae quoque Analyseos instaurationem plane necessarium, & a multis diu desideratum
Lutetiae Parisiorum
Melchior Mondiere
1625
DSB IV, 425: "The Data, the only other work by Euclid in pure geometry to have survived in Greek, is closely connected with books I-VI of the Elements. It is concerned with the different senses in which things are said to be given (...) Marinus of Naples wrote a commentary on, or rather an introduction to, the Data." - Schweiger I, 111; Hoffmann II, 41. "Hardy owed his greatest fame to his knowledge of Arabic and other exotic languages, and in particular, to his edition of Euclid's Data" (DSB VI, 113)
