The 'complete works of Euclid' were written by a team of ... if we accept (i) then there is little doubt that Euclid built up a very big school of mathematics at Alexandria.

However hypotheses (ii) goes much further than this and would suggest that different books were written by different mathematicians. Other than the differences in style referred to above, there is little direct evidence ...
