Mathesis enucleata: or, The elements of the mathematicks.
Mathesis enucleata is a 1700 London mathematics textbook by Johann Christophorus Sturm, printed for Robert Knaplock and partners in St. Paul's Churchyard, meant for students learning geometry and algebra. Its pages are dense with numbered geometric diagrams: circles with inscribed polygons, tangent lines, pyramids, prisms and cylinders drawn in fine black line on cream paper, showing how a designer might borrow precise construction-drawing schemas, labelled lettering and grid-like technical layouts.
