Abstract
The two Renaissance mathematicians Niccolò Tartaglia (1499-1557) and Francesco Maurolico (1494-1575) were both readers and editors of Euclid’s Elements. The thrust that pushed them to plan a new edition was their common dissatisfaction with the available printed editions of the Elements: nevertheless, their purposes and their approach to the text were completely different. My contribution is aimed to briefly describe their different approach to the restoration of Euclid's Elements and their achievements.
