This famous book is a very important teatise of the Arabic Euclidean tradition of geometry. It is the recension (tahrir) in Arabic by Al-Tusi of the Elements of Euclid. Known in general under the title Tahrir Kitab usul al-Handasa li-Uqlidis (Recension of the Book \"Elements of Geometry\" of Euclid), it had also the following title in some copies: Tahrir Uqlidis fi ‘ilm al-Handasa (Recension or Exposition of Euclid on the Science of Geometry\") .
Euclid\'s\' Elements (Kitab al-Usul) was extensively used and commentaries made on it in the Islamic world. Among them Nasir al-Din al-Tusi\'s commentary Tahrir Usul al-Handasa completed in 1248 is the most successful and valuable work focussing on Euclidean geometry .
According to Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Nasir al-Din al-Tusi\'s Tahrir and the commentaries of al-Sayyid al-Sharif al-Jurjani were used since the 13th century as the main course book for geometry lessons among the madrasa students in both the Islamic world and the Ottoman State .
Kawakib-i Sab\'a reports that students were taught Euclid\'s\' Book ranking at istiksâ, after Sharhu Ashkâl al-Ta\'sis ranking at iktisar. Here, what is meant by \"Euclid\'s\' Book\" is Tahrir Usul al-Handasa.
In the geometry section of his De La Littérature des Turcs, Abbé Toderini provides the following information on the Ottoman teaching of geometry:
\"Geometry falls under the group of Turkish studies. In academies (madrasa), there are professors (mudarris) for teaching it [geometry] to young people. The time period between mathematics and rhetoric classes is allocated to this mathematical branch... This science is taught in a special manner. I have been to the Valide Madrasa twice, during which time students had gathered to listen to the geometry class. They used an Arabic translation of Euclid. There are many versions as well as commentaries of this book. Nasir al-Din et-Tusi\'s commentary, which is regarded as the best of these, has already become popular thanks to the Medicis Publishing House. This copy contains a copy of the Turkish license granted by Sultan Murad III (1574-1595) in Istanbul in 1587. \"He has granted permission for the sale of this book without any tax or liability within the entire Ottoman territory...\"
