Description: In ROMA Appresso Giovanni Martinelli M D CIII 1603. Folio, 330 x 225 mms., pp. [128], engraved title, 44 full page plates of Pomodoro diagrams and illustrations of measurement and 7 plates by Giovanni Scala, bound in contemporary vellum (front covers slightly wormed, small hole in spine; 24 leaves a bit water-stained, two lower margins repaired, inscription on lower margin of title-page inked out, some other general wear, but a good to very good copy of this treatise on applied geometry, intended for architects, builders, geography, and even military commanders, with the modern bookplate of Alberto Lualdi on the front paste-down end-paper. This was the second appearance of this important treatise, the first having appeared in 1599. The title-page is different, so it is most likely a second issue of the first edition, S. Brusaporci, "Giovanni Pomodoro (XVI Century)" in Distinguished Figures in Descriptive Geometry and Its Applications for Mechanism Science, 2016.
