Neue Architectura von Festungen, wie solche zu unsern Zeiten an Städten, Schlössern und Claussen, zu Wasser, Land, Berg und Thal, mit ihren Bollwercken, Cavallieren, Streichen, Gräben und Läuffen sollen erbauet werden ...
A German treatise on fortification by Daniel Specklin, printed in 1736 by Gottlob Christian Hilscher and held by the ETH-Bibliothek, aimed at military engineers and builders of towns, castles and frontier works. The plates are plan and profile drawings of star-shaped bastioned fortresses with angled bastions, ravelins, moats and glacis, drawn in fine black line on pale paper, with dense German text set beside them, useful to a designer for geometric layouts, radiating star patterns and architectural line diagrams.
