Euclid's Elements
by D.E.Joyce
1998
Description:
Euclid's Elements form one of the most beautiful and influential works of science in the history of humankind. Its beauty lies in its logical development of geometry and other branches of mathematics. The text of all 13 Books is complete, and all of the figures are illustrated using the Geometry Applet, even those in the last three books on solid geometry that are three-dimensional.

The Foundations of Geometryby David Hilbert - Project Gutenberg
Axioms were uncovered in Euclid's geometry. These discoveries were organized into a more rigorous axiomatic system by David Hilbert in his Grundlagen der Geometrie (1899) which contained his definitive set of axioms for Euclidean geometry.
