He spent long periods of time in Holland and then became the historian, geographer and architect of Maurice, Elector of Saxony (joint dedicatee of the Latin edition of 1641)" poems praising his treatise address him also as a mathematician... His outlines for fortified city plans are somewhat influenced by Francesco de’ Marchi’s, but have even more extensive outworks" Dilich clearly supported a fortification system based on the ""tenaille"", a predilection partially announced by his title (Peribologia = study of the circumference [of a sanctuary]). Nonetheless, many of his fortified city plans contain elaborate proposals for urban compositions of streets, squares and building lots"" (Pollak, no. 14).Ornamentstich-Sammlung, Berlin, 3526. - Cockle, 832 (German ed.) - Klaus Jordan, 895.
