CHAPTER LXIII — Critical Commentary & Notes

On the Way to Know How to Measure All Lateral (Prismatic) Columns.

Historical & Mathematical Commentary

  • Reference to the Print Run of the *Summa* (1494): Notice Pacioli’s proud remark on Folio 0054 (f. 19v) that his :cite:`Summa de Arithmetica <pacioli:summa>`, :term:`Geometria <geometria>`, Proportioni e Proportionalita (printed at Venice by Paganino de’ Paganini in November 1494) is easily accessible to all readers “per la lor copiosa multitudine stampato e per l’universo ormai divulgata” (“because of the copious multitude printed and now disseminated throughout the world”).

Constantin Winterberg’s Commentary (1889 Edition)

  • Winterberg Footnote 1 (Cap. LXIII, p. 258): Compare the second figure on p. 110 (Paganini Folio 0053, 0053.g3.png). (Winterberg Fussnote 1 (Cap. LXIII, S. 258): vgl. 2. Fig. pag. 110.)
