A fine metal-worker and engraver, and maker of mathematical instruments in metal and paper, Danfrie also invented the type used to print this book. Of the seven known types created by Danfrie, the ones used here are the second and fourth of his Gothic-cursive Civilite types, a font first created to mimic French script by Robert Granjon.

Elle est imprimée en caractères de civilité et illustrée de 18 gravures, la plupart à pleine page (14 sont gravées sur cuivre et 4 sur bois). Philippe Danfrie (1531-1606) a gravé lui-même ces caractères et a également dessiné et gravé l'illustration de ce bel ouvrage. Le graphomètre, un demi-cercle, est un instrument de son invention. "Tel que l'a décrit Danfrie, et tel qu'il l'a réalisé, pour l'essentiel, le graphomètre a connu une carrière de deux siècles. . Nous ne connaissons pas d'instrument semblable antérieur à 1597, et il ne paraît pas que le graphomètre ait été décrit sous d'autres noms avant ou après cette époque". (Daumas). L'exemplaire a été probablement lavé au moment de la reliure. Bel exemplaire. Brunet, Manuel du libraire 2, 485 :"ouvrage curieux." Brun, Le livre illustré de la Renaissance 165.
