Proclus Diadochus (410-485 AD), whose vast literary output covers nearly the whole range of the Late Antique philosophical curriculum, here pays homage to the seminal work of Euclid in his 'Commentary on the Elements.'
In addition to being a formal commentary and analysis on the rudiments of Euclid's 'Elements,' Proclus sets forth his philosophy of mathematics, which perhaps is the most important and compelling aspect of this work.
