Miscellanevm hyperbolicvm, et parabolicvm : in qvo praecipve agitvr de centris grauitatis hyperbolae, partium eiusdem, atque nonnullorum solidorum, de quibus nunquam geometria locuta est : parabola nouiter quadratur dupliciter : ducuntur infinitarum parabolarum tangentes : assignantur maxima inscriptibilia, minimaque circumscriptibilia : infinitis parabolis, conoidibus, ac semifusis parabolicis : aliaque geometrica noua exponuntur scitu digna
A 1659 Venetian geometry treatise by Stefano degli Angeli, printed by Giovanni La Nou for mathematicians and students of conic sections, dealing with parabolas, hyperbolas and solids of revolution. The pictures are plain geometric diagrams in black line on cream paper, with parabolic arcs drawn inside rectangles, lettered points along horizontal lines and vertical axes, and fine converging tangent lines, offering a designer clean technical linework and a strong sense of curved structure built on a grid.
