Recueil de plusieurs machines militaires et feux artificiels pour la guerre & recreation : auec l'alphabet de Trittemius par laquelle chacun qui sçait escrire peut promptement composer congruement en latin, aussi le moyen d'escrire la nuict á son amy absent
A 1620 French collection of military machines, fireworks and cipher instructions, compiled by François Thybourel and printed at Pont-à-Mousson by Charles Marchant for soldiers, engineers and gentlemen. Its plates show siege engines, a wheeled catapult-like frame, a screw press and measuring instruments drawn in fine black line with lettered reference marks, useful to a designer for diagrammatic technical linework and clear labelled schematics.
