An important work by the French mathematician Oronce Finé, one of the pioneers of Renaissance mathematics. Finé, who held the prestigious position of royal professor of mathematics in Paris, stands out for his practical approach, especially in cartography and geometry, introducing concepts that would be crucial to the development of navigation and astronomy.

In addition to mathematical formulas and demonstrations, the work is rich in diagrams and technical illustrations, which facilitate the understanding of the concepts presented. It is a work of interest to collectors and scholars of the history of science, who find in it a link between mathematical development and European expansion.
