"Measuring a Field" is a notable work by Bertrand Boysset, a 14th-century French author known for his contributions to the field of surveying and practical geometry. This treatise, written in the vernacular, is a significant early text that provides insights into the methods and instruments used for land measurement during the medieval period. Boysset's work is particularly valuable for historians of science and technology, as it bridges the gap between the theoretical knowledge of ancient Greek geometry and the practical needs of medieval society.

The treatise is part of a larger compilation of Boysset's writings, which includes a variety of topics such as astronomy, calendrical calculations, and the use of the astrolabe. "Measuring a Field" stands out for its detailed descriptions of the procedures for surveying land, which were essential for agricultural planning, legal disputes, and the administration of estates. Boysset's methodology reflects a blend of learned knowledge and empirical practice, demonstrating the application of geometric principles to real-world problems.

In "Measuring a Field," Boysset not only explains the mathematical basis for land measurement but also provides instructions on how to construct and use the necessary instruments. This includes the Jacob's staff, a tool for measuring angles and distances, which was a precursor to the modern theodolite. The work is a testament to the practical application of mathematics in the Middle Ages and serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of surveying techniques.

Boysset's contributions to the field are recognized for their clarity and practicality, making "Measuring a Field" a seminal text in the history of surveying. The treatise is often cited in historical studies of medieval science and technology, and it remains an important reference for those interested in the development of land measurement practices prior to the advent of more modern techniques.
