- Abstract:
- In this paper we want to explore the workshop of medieval surveyors to better understand the circumstances of emerging and evolution of the medieval towns. On the basis of two examples from Silesia, Poland - Namyslów and Dzierżoniów, we illustrated problems connected with application of two methods: modular analysis and cosine quantogram. We discuss their usefulness for reconstruction of the original measuring system and town s layout. Despite the limitations as: level of precision in construction of medieval town s layout at the moment of its foundation, later changes of plots division and known inaccuracy of modern maps, it seems that combining both methods improves the methodology of urban analysis of historic towns.
