This is a meticulous and definitive study, using a philological approach to geometric diagrams, on the sources used by Federico Commandino in his 1572 Latin translation of Aristarchus' \textit{De magnitudinis et distantiis solis et lunae}, shedding ``light on the interaction between mathematical skills and the drawing of geometric diagrams.''
