Diffesa et offesa delle piazze
Diffesa et offesa delle piazze is a 1630 Italian treatise on fortification and siege warfare, published in Macerata by Giuliano Carboni and written by Pietro Paolo Floriani, with plates by Ioannes Franciscus Pellegrinus and Catarino Doino for military engineers and officers. Its pages are engraved plans of bastioned fortress outlines, with ground lines, trenches, and small wooden siege devices drawn in fine parallel hatching that a designer could borrow for dense linear diagrams.
