This is a 1587 Venetian edition of Oronce Fine's mathematical works, translated into Italian by Cosimo Bartoli and published by Francesco Franceschi, covering arithmetic, geometry, cosmography and dials for a learned Italian readership. The pictures are black-and-white line diagrams of circles, chords, meridians and crescent shapes with lettered points, drawn with crisp hairline geometry that a designer could borrow for technical or astronomical graphics.
