Dell'arte militare libri cinque : ne' quali si tratta il modo di fortificare, offendere, et diffendere vna fortezza: et l'ordine come si debano fare gli alloggiamenti campali, & formare le battaglie, et nell'vltimo l'essamine de bombardieri, & di far fuochi arteficiati
Girolamo Cataneo's 1608 Italian treatise on military art, printed in Brescia, sets out how to fortify, attack and defend a fortress, lay out camps and form battle lines, and make fireworks for military use. Its diagrams are plain geometric line drawings of square plans, a right-angled construction with arcs, and a surveying layout with compass-style lines, useful to a designer for simple schematic diagram motifs, measured grids and labelled-plan layouts.
