TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method of 18th century for cilindrical groins thought by Girolamo Settimo and Nicolo di Martino, starting from Archimedes' method for calculating the volume of cylindrical wedges.
Abstract: Starting from Archimedes’ method for calculating the volume of cylindrical wedges, I want to get to describe a method of 18th century for cilindrical groins thought by Girolamo Settimo and Nicolo di Martino. Several mathematicians studied the measurement of wedges, by applying notions of infinitesimal and integral calculus; in particular I examinated Settimo’s Treatise on cylindrical groins, where the author solved several problems by means of integrals.
