A 1734 Spanish compendium of liberal and mechanical arts, compiled by Bernardo Montón and printed in Madrid, gathering recipes on physics, painting, architecture, optics, chemistry and gilding for craftsmen and curious readers. Its four plates are numbered squares of geometric tiling patterns built from hatched and open triangles and diamonds, forming nested stepped rings and star-like medallions that suggest textile, parquet or mosaic designs for pattern-based work.
