A 1535 Paris printing of Vegetius's Roman treatise on military affairs, issued with Frontinus, Aelian and Modestus and gathered in one volume for military readers. Its woodcuts show siege engines, catapults, scaling towers and ladders drawn in clean outline with figures operating them, and a designer might take their plain diagrammatic linework, hatching and step-by-step mechanical clarity as models for technical illustration.
