It is a very appealing witness of the history of the recreational mathematics from the beginning of the 16th century. After a brief introduction of Piero’s cultural background, we describe the structure of the treatise and its sources. We deal especially with the fourth part of Giuochi mathematici in which the author imitates the contents of Alberti’s Ludi matematici. Our analysis shows that textual reworking is quite deep although there is continuity as far as terminology and contents are concerned. *Articolo realizzato nell’ambito del progetto di ricerca 2016/21/B/HS2/00744 finanziato con i fondi del National Science Centre of Poland.}, doi = {10.4467/20843917RC.19.005.11695}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/romanica-cracoviensia/artykul/geometria-in-un-trattato-di-giochi-matematici-dellinizio-del-cinquecento} }
