Bruges, P. vande Capelle, 1714
2 parts in 1 vol., 8vo, cont. calf (rubbed at lower cover, corners bumped), gilt orn. spine on 5 raised bands (def., used), [10 (of 12 ?)]-160 (= 164), 41-[1-2 bl.] pp. (sm. tear at right margin of title, minor dampstaining). Good copy. Very rare treatise on surveying, written by a practician from Moerbeke in the land of Aalst and based on J.B. Doemen's work. Ill. with 36 (of 37) engr. lettered folding pls depicting diagrams, some with underneath a nice view (landscape, sea, etc.); Pl. Z1 replaced by a ms one; folding table titled "Kort begrijp der geheele geometrie ofte landt-meet-const". "In his "Preuve der landt-meters" M. Van Dijcke (1714) established a scheme of the field of "geometrics or land surveying". He distinguished a theoretical and a practical branch. The dimensions of the studied object define the subdivision of the latter in lines (longimetria, altimetria, profundimetria), surfaces (geodosia, ichnographia) and volumes or stereometria; this is the art/science of finding the volume of a number of solids (cones, pillars with circular base, pyramids, and truncated pyramids) as well as their application to the measuring of structures and buildings" (Van de Vijver).
