Andreas Albrecht was a German mathematician and engineer, born in Nuremberg in 1586 and dead in Hamburg in 1628. He invented a variety of instruments, and several of them are described in his treatises on architecture and perspective, which were printed at Nuremberg: Instrument zur Architectur of 1622, Eygendliche Beschreibung of 1625, and the Latin work Duo Libri, whose first book deals with perspective and whose second book deals with shadow, also of 1625. The titles show an author who wrote both in German and in Latin and who treated instruments for architecture together with the geometry of perspective and of shadow.
