It was written more than sixty years before French mathematician Gaspard Monge's Geometry of Descriptive Graphics, a work hailed as the foundation of descriptive geometry. One copy is now held at the Royal Academy in Britain, while only two later editions remain in China. Some of the terms used in the book, such as “horizon” and “eye level,” are still in use today.
