Abstract

This article shows the relationship between the Xàtiva stonemasonry manuscript "Secretos de Arquitectura" and other documentary sources. This manuscript, produced in the 18th century, belongs to the Spanish treatise tradition, and consists of a collection of drawn traces with accompanying explanatory text. However, it has been detected that some of the texts and traces drawn correspond to earlier documentary sources of different origins. This has made it possible to establish relationships and to determine a specific context of knowledge transfer. However, within the manuscript, there is one particular case in which the enclosed text has been preserved, but not the drawn trace. This is entitled "Capialzado del arco por una frente y por el otro capialzado". It has been detected, on the other hand, that the enclosed text preserved corresponds in part to a capial tracing proposed by Vicente Tosca in his treatise. The article unravels the text of this lost trace, graphically restores the proposed layout, and exposes the problems that this entails, taking as a reference a case that already has certain geometric incongruities.
