First published in 1970, Kula’s book has become a classic for historians of measurement.
Standardized measurements are a relatively new phenomenon. The metric system came out of the Age of Enlightenment, and before that, builders who moved from town to town often had to figure out just how long a foot or an ell was in each place they visited. This might seem highly inefficient to us, but it didn’t hinder the construction of Gothic cathedrals that still stand today.
