The evolution process of Gothic construction techniques towards the Renaissance implied a remarkable change in the design of ribbed vaults. The advance from pointed designs towards curved forms gave rise to the appearance of models with multiplied ribs. This meant a great variety and diversity of forms and the incorporation of curved ribs. The Manuscript Ms. 12686 of the National Library of Spain, the oldest of the Hispanic stonecutting texts, contains a drawing of a starry ribbed vault with eight loops. This tracing stands out for its marked practical nature, contrary to the theoretical models of greater simplicity included in other contemporary and later treatises. The main research core of this work is the geometric analysis about the design process of this tracing and its constructive application in similar vaults built in Spain during the sixteenth century.
