Dementsprechend ist sein geometrisches Hauptwerk, die Unterweisung, eine einzigartige Mischung aus elementaren Irrtümern und genialen, zum Teil der allgemeinen Entwicklung der Mathematik weit vorauseilenden Ideen" (Schoch/M./S.). - "Except for the Geometria Deutsch, a book of arithmetical rules for builders which Dürer knew and used, the Underweysung der Messung is the first mathematics book in German. With its publication Dürer could claim a place in the front ranks of Renaissance mathematicans."
