A 1652 German catalogue of books on mechanical arts and experimental crafts, printed in Augsburg by Johann Schultes and associated with the Furttenbach family of architects and engineers, aimed at practitioners and collectors of technical works. The four pictures are small woodcut and engraved ornaments: three framed masks or grotesque heads with scrolls, tassels and foliage, and a wide engraved panel of robed figures standing on pedestals beneath a sun and clouds, useful to a designer for strapline ornament, cartouche framing and allegorical processional layouts.
