I like to know if some of the memebrs knows about the existence of books or
essays about the history of the cut of the stones related to the
geometrical theory.
I mean: Descriptive Geometry finds its roots in some old way of cutting the
stones in blocks to make bulding or part of buildings. The stones used in
the  vaults are a good example for that.

Can someone help me?

Ciao
