👉 Imprimatura, in Latin, is a form of geometry that involves drawing lines and circles to approximate figures or shapes. It was first used by ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Egyptians, and Babylonians for drawing geometric patterns on stone tablets. The earliest known example of an imprimatur is found in the 1st century BC in Egypt and the 3rd century AD in Greece. Imprimatura has been applied to various fields including architecture, engineering, art, and even science.
