Lorenzo de San Nicolás, Fray, 1595-1679, Euclid. Elements. Book 1. Spanish, Hervada, Bernardo de, 17th cent · 1667 · En Madrid : Por Bernardo de Hervada · 27 pictures

A 1667 Spanish architecture and geometry treatise printed in Madrid by Bernardo de Hervada, a second edition of Fray Lorenzo de San Nicolás's building manual that includes Euclid's first book in translation for builders and students. The plates are dense page-sized diagrams of construction problems, with triangles, circles, squares and lettered points set in tidy grids of compass arcs and ruled lines, a clear model for designers wanting precise technical line work and labelled schematic layouts.
