Summary

Description
English: Caption from previous upload: A page from Tractatus de latitudinibus formarum (1505) edited by Biagio Pelacani da Parma (Blasius of Parma) in Venice, an abridgement of the 14th-century work Tractatus de figuratione potentiarum et mensurarum by Nicholas Oresme (1323-1382). The work was first printed in 1482, and again in 1486, 1505 and 1515. As reprints of this book were still available in the 17th century, it is possible that this work directly influenced René Descartes and the development of the "Cartesian" coordinate system.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1382, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
