Les fortifications du chevalier Antoine de Ville : contenans la maniere de fortifier toute sorte de places ... : avec l'ataque et les moyens de prendre les places ... : plus la defense ..
A 1628 French treatise on fortification and siege warfare by Antoine de Ville, printed at Lyon by Irenee Barlet for military engineers and officers. Its plates are engraved plans and bird's-eye views of star-shaped bastioned forts set in open landscapes, with siege tools and mining equipment drawn in orderly rows; a designer could take their clean geometric layouts and crisp hatched line work.
