"Surveying a River" by Bertrand Boysset is a notable work from the early 15th century, attributed to the French author and surveyor Bertrand Boysset (c. 1345–1415). This manuscript is part of Boysset's broader contributions to the fields of geography, navigation, and surveying, reflecting the knowledge and techniques of the Late Middle Ages in Europe. Bertrand Boysset, hailing from Arles, was not only a practical surveyor but also an influential writer on the subjects of astronomy, geography, and surveying techniques. His works are significant for their detailed descriptions of surveying methods and tools, including the use of the astrolabe and other instruments for measuring land and water bodies.

"Surveying a River" specifically focuses on the methodologies and instruments used in the early 15th century for surveying rivers, including measuring their width, depth, and flow. The work is a testament to the medieval understanding of hydrography and represents an important link in the history of geographical and environmental studies. Boysset's descriptions provide insights into the practical challenges of surveying in his time and the innovative approaches developed to overcome them.

The manuscript is valuable not only for its historical significance in the development of surveying and hydrographic studies but also for its contribution to our understanding of medieval science and technology. It illustrates the level of precision and analytical thought applied to the natural world during a period often underestimated for its scientific achievements. "Surveying a River" by Bertrand Boysset remains a critical source for historians of science, technology, and maritime navigation, offering a window into the practical and theoretical knowledge of the Late Middle Ages.
