Ioco-seriorum naturae et artis, sive magiae naturalis centuriae tres
Ioco-seriorum naturae et artis, sive magiae naturalis centuriae tres is a 1666 natural-magic compendium by Athanasius Kircher and Kaspar Schott, printed in the seventeenth century for learned readers interested in experiments and mechanical marvels. Its numbered plates show chimneys, pulleys, mirrors and a water-powered device drawn in crisp black line with hatching and shading, a clear model for technical diagrams.
