"The Path-Way to Knowledg, Containing the First Principles of Geometrie" by Robert Recorde is a mathematical textbook written in the 16th century. This work serves as an introduction to the principles and first teachings of geometry, aiming to make the concepts accessible for practical use in various fields including astronomy, construction, and everyday measurement. The text promises to equip readers with foundational knowledge needed to understand and apply geometric principles in practical scenarios. The opening of this text sets the stage for a structured exploration of geometry and its relevance to practical life. Recorde introduces the subject with a focus on definitions and foundational concepts, indicating that the first of the four books will define essential terms and principles used in geometry. The author emphasizes the necessity of geometry in various professions, highlighting its importance for merchants, carpenters, and masons among others. He also sets the tone for a diligent academic pursuit, inviting readers to appreciate geometry not only for its utility but as a critical element of learning to attain wisdom and virtue.
