This manuscript may have been one of the sources for the copy (F4) owned by Stefano della Bella (1610-1664).
See detailed description and analysis 
| Analysis The manuscript is dated on the inside cover "Lunedi 10 Agosto 1615". The scribe copied only the geometrical diagrams, omitting entirely the figure drawings, although he left space aside for them. The manuscript is very similar to F4, and may have been one of the sources of F4 (see especially T1007 in which the two manuscripts present an identical wording at the end of the chapter). F5, however, could not be the only source of F4 as F4 includes also the figure drawings, which are instead omitted in F5. |
| History The early history of F5 is unknown. |
