| Abstract: | Alonso de Vandelvira's treatise “Libro de traças y cortes de piedras”, composed between ca. 1575–91, is the oldest known written compendium dedicated entirely to the science of Stereotomy. Among all the elements included in the treatise, the focus of this study is the design of the templates for the caissons in the crossing trellis vaults. A virtual reconstruction and a very thorough comparative observation highlight the geometrical approaches appearing in these kinds of templates. |
