‎Intéressant traité de fortification italien et manuscrit du XVIIIe siècle. Dauteur anonyme, louvrage est rédigé à lencre noire dune belle écriture et comporte de multiples schémas et figures géométriques en deux voire trois dimensions dans les marges. En fin douvrage, on trouve un total de 12 figures dont certaines en couleur représentant diverses fortifications vues den haut ou de côté. Toutefois, lauteur reconnaît humblement dès lintroduction que son traité de fortification na pas lambition dêtre un cours complet en la matière: Ce traité succinct sur les fortifications n'est qu'une pure introduction à cet art ; il n'est fait que pour le divertissement érudit de nobles novices désireux de dessiner plutôt pour s'amuser sur des cartes (traduit de litalien).. La première partie aborde les bases mathématiques essentielles (définitions, concepts géométriques de base, tracé des figures de base, etc.). Les deuxième et troisième parties abordent les concepts plus pointus permettant de tracer ses premiers plans. Enfin, la quatrième et dernière concerne le tracé des plans les plus complexes. Ouvrage bien conservé dans sa reliure dorigine. 1 vol. 4to manuscript (210 x 170 mm): [1] f. (handwritten title in engraved frontispiece); 155 pp. 7 leaves of illustration accompanied by 2 leaves of explanation. Contemporary full parchment, smooth spine hand-titled, speckled edges. Interesting 18th-century Italian manuscript treatise on fortification. By an anonymous author, the work is written in fine black ink, with numerous two- and even three-dimensional diagrams and geometrical figures in the margins. At the end of the book, there are a total of 12 figures, some in color, depicting various fortifications seen from above or from the side. However, the author humbly acknowledges in the introduction that his treatise on fortifications is not intended to be a complete course on the subject: "This brief treatise on fortifications is but a pure introduction to this art; it is made only for the erudite entertainment of noble novices wishing to draw rather to amuse themselves on maps (translated from Italian)". The first part covers the essential mathematical basics (definitions, basic geometric concepts, drawing basic figures, etc.). The second and third parts cover the more advanced concepts needed to draw your first maps. Finally, the fourth and last part deals with the drawing of the most complex plans. Well-preserved in its original binding.‎
