This 1604 page from Pietro Paolo Tozzi’s *Ghirlanda* showcases a multiplication table with its numbers organized in neat rows and columns. This book of calculations, part of a Renaissance fascination with mathematical principles, features a decorative border and a simple typographic layout. The artist was known for his intricate scientific drawings and his work in the field of optics. *Ghirlanda: Di sei vaghi fiori scielti da piu famosi Giardini d'Italia* remains a fine example of early modern mathematics illustrated in a visually engaging and practical way.
