Modo del dividere l'allvvioni da qvello di Bartolo, et de gli agrimensori diverso. Mostrato con ragioni mathematiche & con pratica

Carazzi, Carlo · 1579 · Bologna, per Gio. Rossi · 112 pictures

A 1579 Bologna treatise by Carlo Carazzi, printed by Giovanni Rossi, arguing a mathematical method for dividing river alluvium among riverbank owners, addressed to jurists and land surveyors. The plates are pen-drawn survey diagrams: a stippled floodplain bounded by wavy river banks, lettered boundary points, ruled columns of letters, and a lattice of dotted diagonals partitioning a polygon, useful as period geometric and cartographic line work.
