The paper discusses a manuscript, Ms. 399, found in the Library Boncompagni, elaborated in the 19th century; it is included in both successive versions of the catalogue issued by Enrico Narducci. The codex actually contains two manuscripts, quite unequal as to their value; it is the first that is important, the latter being only an abridged version, discussing stereometry. There follows a minute description and presentation of the manuscript. Special mention should be made of the main graphical characteristics of the text, as follows (not to be met in the manuscripts of the centuries to follow): re-doubling of the voiceless \(s\) when in inter-vocalic position; \(xs\) instead of the Latin \(x\); synthetic reinforcements with enclytical pronouns, etc. The language of the text is, beyond any doubt, the one spoken in Toscana (see the metrological and numismatic references). The topics include problems of metrical geometry and also calculation of the sciemi. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0861.00003].
