Avvertimenti, et essamini intorno a qvelle cose, che richiedono a vn perfetto bombardiero : cosi circa all'artiglieria, come anco à fuochi arteficiati
A 1580 Venetian treatise by Girolamo Cataneo, printed by Altobello Salicato, written as guidance for master gunners on artillery and fireworks. The four woodcuts show incendiary and firework devices drawn with radiating spark and fuse lines, a sphere studded with flame jets, a lidded pot with bursting sparks, and a round shell with a fuse hole.
