Description
Augsburg: J M Probst, Kunst-Haendler ...., 1761. Sixth Edition. Enlarged.. orig. paste paper bds.. A good copy, some toning and occ. spotting; bds. loose; backstrip abraded; inst. blind stamp on title.. sm. folio. There is an allegorical frontis. and 39 plates. A very good large copy. Penther's influential book is here extended and enlarged incorporating new sections on projective geometry. A striking vignette has been added to the title of the Zugabe that features a case of surveying instruments against a view of the city of Augsburg. The book was intended for practical instruction and is not to be considered in the same manner as theoretical works in mathematics ( see Deut. Mus. catalog listing ) . As such it was a fundamental work and essential reference for cartography, engineering, and architecture during the 18th century. See Berlin # 1734; Pogg. II, 399 - 400; see numerous ref's. in Schutte, Architekt und Ingenieur
