Specklin, Daniel · 1608 · in Verlegung Lazari Zetzners · 42 pictures

A 1608 German treatise on fortification architecture by Daniel Specklin, published by Lazarus Zetzner and held by the ETH-Bibliothek, written to guide how fortresses of its day should be built. Its pages are engraved and drawn plans of star-shaped bastioned forts shown in plan, elevation and bird's-eye views with dotted sightlines and labelled sections, useful for designers seeking geometric fort layouts, schematic military diagrams and early-modern cartographic linework.
