EDITORS COMMENTS

This print takes us back to the 16th century, showcasing the intricate surveying methods of that time. In this woodcut illustration from Georg Reisch's renowned work "Margarita philosophica" we witness a European man standing before a majestic stone tower. Engrossed in his task, he directs his attention towards the top window of the tower using a Jacobs staff or cross-staff. The Jacobs staff was an early surveying instrument utilized for measuring angles, heights, and distances during this period. It served as a testament to the technological advancements and engineering prowess of that era. This artwork is part of Reisch's encyclopedic masterpiece "Aepitoma omnis phylosophiae" published in 1503-1504. The monochrome woodcut adds an air of authenticity and historical charm to this image, transporting us back to the Middle Ages when such architectural marvels were being constructed. The German author Georg Reisch meticulously documented various aspects of human knowledge in his comprehensive encyclopedia. This print not only captures a significant moment in history but also highlights the ingenuity and dedication exhibited by individuals like our protagonist - an engineer or architect who played a crucial role in shaping their society through meticulous surveying techniques. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how far technology has come while appreciating the foundations laid by those who came before us.
