Mathesis Caesarea, sive, Amussis Ferdinandea : in lucem publicam & usum eruditae posteritatis, gratulantibus litteratorum geniis evecta, atque ad problemata universae matheseos, praesertim vero architecturae militaris explicata jussu & auctoritate Augustissimi Imperatoris Ferdinandi III
Mathesis Caesarea is a 1662 mathematics and military architecture treatise printed at Würzburg by Jobst Hertz, written by Albert Curtz, Gaspar Schott and Melchior Küsel and dedicated to Emperor Ferdinand III. The pictures are repeated woodcut headpieces showing a bearded satyr-like mask flanked by scrolling strapwork, festoons and a hanging pendant, a dense Baroque ornament a designer could adapt for decorative frames.
