Reviews

&#8220;What was the everyday practice of mathematics in the age of Galileo? How did it serve the needs of artists, architects, scholars, surveyors, engineers, and princely condottieri engaged in the art of war with a compass in hand? Alexander Marr&#8217;s book deftly reconstructs the multifaceted nature of mathematics in late Renaissance Italy. His study is impressive in terms of the depth and range of the research and its interdisciplinary ambition to situate Renaissance mathematics in its multiple contexts.&#8221;&#8212;Paula Findlen, Stanford University&nbsp; <br>--Paula Findlen, Stanford University
