1595 FIRST EDITION & RICHLY ILLUSTRATED with 50 detailed half-page illustrations on geometry, cartography, topography, mathematics, geology, extreme weather, hydrogeological instability, physics, hydraulic, civil, and military engineering. The author, Silvio Belli (1520-1579), was an important mathematician and engineer in the water management (Magistrato alle Acque) department of the Republic of Venice. He was responsible for the hydraulic management of rivers, lagoons, canals, and buildings, flood prevention, navigation, river diversions, water flow, the creation of canals for irrigation and transportation, the optimization of the lagoon's sea routes, and the protection of the city of Venice from extreme weather events. Belli held one of the most important positions in the republic, which based its wealth on the sea and trade. This manual clearly explains, with practical illustrated examples, the use of the geometric square or gnomonic instrument (gnomon), an instrument derived from the astrolabe for architectural and topographical surveying for land development. Silvio Belli collaborated with Andrea Palladio and contributed to the construction of the Basilica Palladiana and the Cathedral in Vicenza. He also received commissions from the governments of Ferrara, Modena, and Rome, always with the task of managing river flows, resolving property disputes, preventing hydraulic problems, and optimizing and exploiting navigable waterways. First edition, solid half-leather binding, in excellent condition.

Andrea Palladio had a high regard for Andrea Belli, calling him "the most excellent surveyor in our area". Belli, in this book from the beginning, honors the great genius of Euclid (c. 300 BC), then illustrates dozens of measurements and practical solutions for engineers and architects using the geometric square or gnomonic instrument, and explains, using other tools, how to calculate the depths of rivers, seas, wells and the circumference of the Earth. This first edition is divided into three books/parts; it is a manual explaining how to measure distance, height, depth and proportionality, and is a synthesis of Belli's previous books. The illustrations are by the author himself. Being an island in the middle of the lagoon, the city of Venice faced problems with flooding, river management, and the blockage of commercial canals due to debris carried by swollen rivers that discharged into the sea adjacent to the city. Several rivers flowed into the lagoon from the mountains, which, depending on rainfall and snowmelt, destabilized the morphology of the land. Engineer Belli's task was to move the river mouths further south or north of Venice to protect the city and keep the canals passable for the influx of food and goods, as well as exploiting the water to improve navigability, irrigation, and agriculture with new artificial canals.

AUTHOR: Silvio Belli (1520-1579) was an Italian mathematician and engineer of the Republic of Venice. He was among the founders of the Accademia Olimpica in 1555, in Vicenza. In 1556, he was appointed superintendent (engineer) of the Municipality of Vicenza; in this capacity, he oversaw various public works, including the construction of the loggias of the Basilica Palladiana and the restoration of the cathedral, in collaboration with Palladio. Around 1561, he left public office to dedicate himself to private and government commissions in Ferrara, Modena, Rome, and Venice. In 1566, he was appointed "Proto delle Acque" (Water Engineer) of the Republic of Venice, a prestigious position.
