Joseph Furttenbach's 1663 German treatise on mathematics, mechanics, fortification and architecture, printed by Johann Schultes, is a technical encyclopedia of the arts meant for engineers, architects and craftsmen. Its plates show a fortress-like city plan, water-lifting machines, sundials with geometric construction lines, and pumping or firing apparatus drawn in careful engraved detail, useful to a designer for clear, schematic technical diagrams and their layout on a page.
