This repository contains the source files for the digitized text of the book on geometry and classical proportion by the American artist and scholar Jay Hambidge (1867–1924): The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry, which was first published as a series of articles (‘lessons’) in Hambidge’s journal The Diagonal, between 1919 and 1920. They were collected and first published in 1926 (posthumously) in book-form by Yale University Press.
Since the Work was first published before 1923, and since the author of the Work deceased more than 70 years ago, the Work is, world-wide, in the Public Domain.
- add content (text and figures) from the pages that were missing from the source PDF
- improve the quality of the figures (either by upsampling the scanned diagrams, or by re-drawing them from scratch, using something like https://github.com/anandthakker/euclid; in the latter case, the declarative drawing instructions could be put in the text file directly, contained in an ‘euclid’ code block or alike; cfr https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14058707)
