Summa de Arithmetica 1521

"Summa de Arithmetica", a 1521 book by Francisco di Lionardo Ghaligaio, showcases the artist's meticulous hand in its detailed manuscript text. While the specific content remains obscure, the artwork, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides a glimpse into the world of early arithmetic and its handwritten documentation. The worn edges and faded ink add to the book's historical significance as a testament to the longevity of human knowledge. The artwork stands as a valuable document of Renaissance mathematics.
