Modo di formare con prestezza le moderne battaglie di picche, archibvgieri, et cavalleria : con tre avisi del modo del marchiare, in modo di dialogo
A 1571 Italian military treatise by Girolamo Cataneo, printed in Brescia, explaining how to quickly lay out pike, arquebus and cavalry formations in dialogue form. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of rectangular troop blocks with numbered side lengths and labelled ranks, useful to a designer wanting schematic grid layouts, annotated dimension lines, or simple geometric arrangements of units.
