Printed works of practical geometry present themselves as part of a network of different practices. They reflect on themselves as texts and images which only start to constitute meaning when brought into close interaction with other objects (e.g. compasses and ruler, measuring stick). Again and again they seem to rely on their recipients to bring together text, diagram, geometrical instrument and practice, or to be more precise: they claim (and sometimes boast) to work only this way. Art History as well as the History of Science and Media History have used these texts as sources, but the books themselves, their design, their textual form and their rhetoric was hardly analysed systematically. Where it has been examined at all, it was the educational intention that has been considered a priori as the main goal of textual strategies and book-design. A more detailed exploration of the books, however, shows quite heterogeneous results: the practicability claimed by the preambles is answered in very varying ways within the books. Overexplicit or unintelligibly truncated, the books combine an economy of presentation on the one hand with seemingly superfluous addenda on the other. The selection of "canonical" procedures and instruments follow craftsmanship as well as certain textual traditions. Furthermore, some of the writings seem to answer no less to the requirements of courtly representation than to those of artisanry, others answer to the premises of urban humanistic communication or to the needs to advocate the mastery of a printers shop or they ascribe a certain realm of knowledge to an author, editor or presentee. In short: we can hypothesise that the particular Gestalt of these books, their multiple addressing, their different ways to take up a tradition and to establish their own, and not the least their varying ways to transliterate knowledge about this and to transliterate the know-how points towards a polyfunctionality that has been hidden and masked in scholarly literature by terms like "specialists literature" or "educational book". Thus, scholarship has up to now evened out and thereby ignored especially those elements that indicate a specific and often ostentatiously staged aesthetic of the books on geometria practica.The project will therefore aim to prove the hypothesis that in the vernacular literature on geometry, there is an interlacement of their didactic function (their eagerness to communicate "how to" do geometry), and their "geometrical" poetic and aesthetic design, that is adaptable to many different agendas of communication. A comparative analysis of the German print works on constructive geometry and on surveying geometry will focus on both aspects.

实用几何的印刷作品作为不同实践网络的一部分呈现出来。它们反思自己是文本和图像，只有在与其他物体（如指南针、尺子、测量杆）密切互动时才开始构成意义。他们似乎一次又一次地依赖于他们的接受者将文本、图表、几何工具和实践结合在一起，或者更准确地说：他们声称（有时自夸）只以这种方式工作。艺术史、科学史和媒体史都使用了这些文本作为来源，但这些书本身、它们的设计、它们的文本形式和它们的修辞几乎没有被系统地分析过。在所有被审查的地方，教育意图被认为是先验的，是文本策略和书籍设计的主要目标。然而，对这些书进行更详细的探索，显示出相当不同的结果：序言所声称的实用性在书中以非常不同的方式得到了回答。这些书的内容要么过于直白，要么被难以理解地删节，一方面是简洁的呈现，另一方面是看似多余的附录。“规范”程序和工具的选择遵循工艺以及某些文本传统。此外，一些作品似乎对宫廷表现的要求不亚于对手工艺的要求，另一些则对城市人文交流的前提或对倡导印刷店精通的需要作出回应，或者它们将某种知识领域归于作者、编辑或呈现者。简而言之：我们可以假设，这些书的特殊格式塔，它们的多重地址，它们接受传统并建立自己的不同方式，尤其是它们对这方面的知识和知识的不同音译方式，都指向一种多功能性，这种多功能性被“专家文学”或“教育书籍”等术语隐藏和掩盖在学术文献中。因此，到目前为止，学术研究已经趋于平衡，因此特别忽略了那些元素，这些元素表明了一种特定的，经常是炫耀的，关于几何实践的书的美学。因此，本项目旨在证明这样一个假设，即在白话几何文学中，它们的教学功能（它们渴望交流“如何”做几何）与它们的“几何”诗意和美学设计之间存在交错，这可以适应许多不同的交流议程。对德国建筑几何和测量几何的版画作品进行比较分析，将重点放在这两个方面。
