Euclid's Elements
In 300 BCE, Euclid wrote his famous book 'Elements'. Books I and II summarize the geometrical work of Pythagoras; Book III, Hippocrates of Chios; Book V, Eudoxus; Books IV, VI, XI, and XII, the later Pythagorean and Athenian geometricians. Books VII-X deal with higher mathematics. Despite minor flaws—and the fact that he did not give any credit to any of the giants before him—the total result was a mathematical architecture that rivaled the Parthenon as a symbol of the Greek mind. Actually, it outlived the Parthenon as an integral form; for even up until modern technology enabled better drawings and faster print, the Elements of Euclid constituted the accepted textbook of geometry in nearly every European university. One must go to the Bible to find a rival for it in enduring influence.

Full disclosure, I may occasionally borrow a sentence from Will Durant's Story of Civilization. I absolutely love that collection!
