L'Usage et praticque du compas à huict poinctes sur les 48 problèmes des six premiers livres d'Euclide... par M. Denorry...
A 1588 French mathematical treatise by Miles de Norry, printed in Paris by Guillaume Linocier, teaching geometry students how to solve Euclid's problems with an eight-pointed proportional compass. The pictures are dense woodcut diagrams of compass arms, triangles, and circles with lettered points, plus an ornate instrument plate and a Bibliothèque Impériale stamp; a designer might take their clean line geometry and precise lettering as a model for technical linework.
