Paul de Clermont - La géométrie pratique de l'ingénieur, ou l'art de mesurer - 1723

Rare illustrated edition of this technical work from the early 18th century that demonstrates the intention to systematize and popularize geometric knowledge applied to the needs of engineers, surveyors, and practitioners of mechanical arts.

Paul de Clermont outlines the fundamental principles of practical geometry, focusing on the art of measuring surfaces, volumes, and distances, with particular attention to military, civil, and architectural applications.

The text is characterized by its balance between theory and practice: definitions, demonstrations, and rules are accompanied by concrete examples, enabling engineers to implement calculations in the field and construction.

A very beautiful work richly illustrated.
