The Mathematical Works of Leon Battista AlbertThe Mathematical Works of Leon Battista Albert

Leon Battista Alberti (1404¬–1472) was a highly prolific polymath of the fifteenth century. Although his contributions to architecture and the visual arts are well known and available in good English editions, as are many of his literary and social writings, his mathematical works are not well represented.

Four texts are included here.
