A geometrical practical treatize named Pantometria : diuided into three bookes, longimetria, planimetria, and stereometria, containing rules manifolde for mensuration of all lines, superficies and solides: with sundrie strange conclusions both by instrument and without, and also by glasses to set forth the true description or exact platte of an whole region. First published by Thomas Digges Esquire, and dedicated to the graue, wise, and honourable, Sir Nicholas Bacon ... With a mathematicall discourse of the fiue regular platonicall solides, and their metamorphoses into other fiue compound rare geometricall bodyes, conteyning an hundred newe theoremes at least of his owne inuention, neuer mentioned before by anye other geometrician.
