Guarino Guarini and Universal Mathematics
Abstract Guarini considered the mathematical studies to be of fundamental importance for all artists and scholars. His own knowledge of mathematics was vast and profound. The aim of this present paper is to show, through an analysis of the most substantial of his mathematical works, Euclides adauctus, along with the Appendix to this printed a few months later, the role that philosophical and mathematical studies had on his cultural formation, on the new and original research that he conducted, and on his teaching activities, while looking for traces of the mathematical sources that he consulted and cited that indicate which authors and works exerted the greatest influence on him.
