La science des ingénieurs dans la conduite des travaux de fortification et d'architecture civile ...
Belidor's La science des ingénieurs, published in Paris by Charles-Antoine Jombert in 1739, is a treatise on military engineering and civil architecture written for engineers and military builders of the eighteenth century. Its plates show fortress plans, bastion layouts, and building elevations drawn in fine engraved line with lettered reference keys. A designer could draw on the crisp geometric plans, hatched wall sections, and stepped star-shaped bastion outlines as clean schematic graphics.
