Universae architecturae militaris elementa is an 18th-century military engineering textbook by Christian Rieger, Johann Ernst Mansfeld, Franciscus Mayer and Phil. Jacob Gütl, printed in Vienna in 1758 for military students and engineers. Its plates show fortification plans, bastion and wall sections, cannon, and survey maps drawn in fine engraved line with hatched shading, useful for designers wanting precise geometric diagrams of star forts and earthworks.
