Cette contribution analyse la standardisation des instruments d’arpentage afin de comprendre comment l’art de l’arpentage passe d’un « art » local à une profession savante et nationale, celle de l’ingénieur géographe. Nous étudions sept des plus influents manuels d’arpentage publiés en France entre les années 1690 et 1760, ainsi que des documents peu connus du Bureau national du cadastre (1791-1802) et de l’École nationale des ingénieurs géographes (1794-1802). La documentation technique sur l’arpentage analysée montre que la définition d’un ensemble d’instruments standardisés (en particulier le graphomètre et la trigonométrie géodésique) participe de façon significative à la construction de l’identité d’une profession scientifique. Enfin, ...
