Abstract
This monograph deals with the history of geometric transformation from ages up to the beginnning ot the 20th century. On the basis of original sources it refers to the first appearance and subsequent advancement of particular geometric transformations.
It foccuses espacially on the following types of transformations: isometries, similarities, geometric motions, axial affinities, central dilatations, circular inverse, projections, stereographic projections, affine transformations, projective transformations and Cremona transformations. The monographs gives further details about those significant moments from the history of geometry when some new ideas in the context of geometric transformations arose for the first time.
On the backgrounds of the world's development it follows reflections and the influence on investigated mathematical problems in the Czech lands as well.
