Les practiques du sieur Fabre, sur lordre et reigle de fortifier, garder, attaquer, et defendre les places : auec vn facile moyen pour leuer touttes sortes de plans, tant des places et des bastimens, que de la campaigne pour les cartes
A 1629 Paris treatise on military fortification by Jean Fabre, a 17th-century French author, offering rules for building, guarding, attacking and defending fortified towns, plus methods for surveying plans of places and countryside, aimed at engineers and officers. The plates show plan-view star-shaped bastioned fortresses with angular outworks, scale bars and dedicated ornamental cartouches, giving a designer clear geometric layouts of early modern star forts.
