This 1676 German treatise on artillery, fireworks and gunnery was written by Kazimierz Siemienowicz, edited by Daniel Elrich and Thomas Leonhard Beeren, and published in Germany for military engineers and gunners. Its plates show engraved tools, rocket and cannon-related forms, spoked wheels, cylindrical moulds and mechanical apparatus drawn in precise line, giving designers clear mechanical diagrams of early modern ordnance and pyrotechnic equipment.
