Leonhard Christoph Sturms architectura militaris hypothetico-eclectica, oder gründliche Anleitung zu der Kriegs-Baukunst : aus denen Hypothesibus und Erfindungen derer meinsten und besten Ingenieurs dargestellet
Leonhard Christoph Sturm's 1720 German treatise on military architecture, published by Peter Conrad Monath, presents fortification theory drawn from the hypotheses of many engineers for military builders and students. The plates show plan views and angled perspective drawings of star-shaped bastions, ravelins, counterguards and ditches, with the lines of the ground plan reading clearly as crisp engraved geometry a designer could adapt for radial or star patterns.
