Quarto (185 x 145 mm); [8], 175, [1] pages.

The first treatise dedicated specifically to the surveyor’s square, an instrument used for land surveying and the measurement of areas. The work, which Oddi wrote while in captivity, is also based on earlier unpublished studies by Guidobaldo del Monte and the architect-engineer Francesco Paciotti, and represents a fundamental milestone in the development of modern surveying.
