Kritik
From the reviews:
"The book under review contains, in parallel translation and with extensive commentary, Alberti's short treatise On Painting. ... The commentaries in the book are thorough and interesting. ... a useful source for project work in the history of mathematics, parts of it being well suited to students with only modest mathematical understanding; others, such as the areas of lunes, leading into demanding ideas from later times." (Peter Giblin, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 96 (536), March, 2012)mehr
