The resource is:
Ceva, Giovanni: De lineis rectis se invicem secantibus statica constructio.
Mediolan., 1678
but I know of no translation into a modern language.
There is a biography for GC by Gino Loria, which might be of some help,
but I haven't seen it:
G Loria: Per la biografia de Giovanni Ceva.
Rendiconti dell'istituto lombardo di scienze et lettere 48(1915) 450-452.
