About this book
Dürer's guide to building the letters of the alphabet with compass and ruler comes from his work on applied geometry. It opens with a letter to his friend and patron Wilibald Pirckheimer, arguing that many young painters go wrong because they never learned geometry, and that the same rudiments serve goldsmiths, sculptors, stonecutters and woodcarvers. This English version is by R. T. Nichol, made from the Latin text of 1535.
