Albrecht Dürer's The Painter's Manual (more literally, the Instructions on Measurement) was first published in 1525 and features the famous woodcut Artist and Model in the Studio. It is a book on geometry and perspective and was published at Nuremberg. It is the first book for adults to be published on mathematics in German.

Albrecht Dürer veröffentlichte 1525 sein Buch Underweysung der messung mit dem zirckel un richtscheyt[1], das die erste Zusammenfassung der mathematisch-geometrischen Verfahren der Zentralperspektive darstellte und damit auch die Grundlagen der perspektivischen Konstruktionsverfahren als Teilbereich der Darstellenden Geometrie bildet.
