明末清初意大利来华传教士罗雅谷编译的《比例规解》的蓝本问题一直是个备受关注的问题。前人研究认为其蓝本是伽利略于1606年在帕多瓦出版的《几何与军事规的操作》一书，实际上这其中有不少舛错和问题。通过深入分析，本文认为《比例规解》的蓝本应当是伽利略于1612年出版的《比例仪器发明》一书。原因是，此书不仅包含了《比例规解》几乎所有内容，而且还包含了《比例规解》中在《几何与军事规的操作》找不到的一些内容，如比例规的做法等。另外，据北堂数目记载，《比例仪器发明》于明末清初也确系由西方传教士带到了我国。本研究进一步丰富和推进了当时西方数学和科学传入我国的相关研究。

Previous studies have suggested that the chief source for the book titled Bi Li Gui Jie compiled by Italian missionary Giacomo Rho during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties was Galileo′s Le Operazioni del Compasso Geometrico et Militare published in Padua in 1606, which is wrong. The chief source for Bi Li Gui Jie should be Galileo′s another book titled De Proportionum Instrumento a se Invento published in 1612. This book not only contains almost all the content of Bi Li Gui Jie, but also includes some content that cannot be found in Le Operazioni del Compasso Geometrico et Militare but in Bi Li Gui Jie, such as the practice of proportional rules. Additionally, according to the records in Bei Tang Shu Mu, De Proportionum Instrumento a se Invento was indeed brought to China by Western missionaries during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. This study further enriches and advances the research on the transmission of Western mathematics and science to China at that time.
