Originally published in 1559, it elucidated the mathematical principles for measuring inaccessible areas, such as the height of tall structures or the width of rivers, using geometry rather than a physical scale. Topics covered include using the author's invention, the "geometrical quadrant", as well as applications for various measuring instruments, such as the astrolabe. The author lays out how to apply mathematical formulas to architectural and engineering problems, and methods are also shared for measuring the height of the sun, stars, and planets. The techniques described here were vital to the advancement of science and construction in the Renaissance, and can still be used to solve measurement problems in architecture and engineering today.
