Underground Mathematics: Craft Culture and Knowledge Production in Early Modern Europe

Morel tells the story of subterranean geometry, a forgotten discipline that developed in the silver mines of early modern Europe where mining and metallurgy were of great significance. Through vivid case studies, he illustrates how geometry was used in metallic mines, from surveying to map-making, by practitioners using esoteric manuscripts.
