The Secrets of Ancient Geometry and Its Use was written by Tons Brunés and the original edition was  published in 1967. I personally studied with Mr. Brunés in Copenhagen in the early 1990's. Following Mr. Brunés' death in 1995, I acquired the rights to re-publish his books. The new format, designated the  "Scholar's Edition", has features that enhance Ancient Geometry scholarship by the serious student.
