Il Teuere incatenato, ouero, L'arte di frenar l'acque correnti
Il Teuere incatenato is a 1663 Italian treatise on hydraulic engineering, printed in Rome by Francesco Moneta for engineers and those concerned with controlling river flow. Its pictures are black-and-white woodcut and engraved plates showing a river bent around a walled fortress, a winding watercourse seen from above, and a cross-section of a riverbed with an embankment. A designer could draw on their hatched linework for maps, flowing water and topographic diagrams.
