PHJ № 1 (33) 2022 — A. G. Gumenyuk. LAND SURVEYING METHODS IN THE MANUSCRIPT OF THE 17TH CENTURY
The article discusses a textbook by geometry and surveying compiled at the end of the 17th century (OR RNB. F. 550 (OSRK). F. IX. No. 47). The compilers of the manuscript used textbooks of arithmetic, books of the soshny writing, and treatises of German and Austrian astronomers. It is shown that goniometric instruments, known in architecture and navigation fields, were not used in land surveying. The scribes did not have a method for accurately calculating the area of land plots.
