copy in old vellum, 1. 15 Padova, 1629 



All editions of this once popular work are new rare, and neither M. Libri nor Professor de Morgan owned copies of any 

 edition. The latter moreover mentions the author's name in his 'List of 1580 Names of Authors, etc. of Works on 

 Arithmetic ' only on the authority of Dean Peacock. 



According to G. Rossi, the author was the first to mention the quadrant (il squadro) as an instrument used in surveying, 

 which he states had been in use already towards the end of the XVth Century. 



The author's real name was FRANCESCO FELICIANO, as given on the title of the later editions, but he is chiefly known 

 to biographers as Lazesio.
