Methodo lusitanico de desenhar as fortificaçoens das praças regulares & irregulares : fortes de campanha, e outras obras pertencentes a architectura militar, distribuido em duas partes operativa e qualificativa
A 1680 Lisbon treatise on military fortification by Luís Serrão Pimentel, drawing on Blaise François de Pagan, printed by Antonio Craesbeeck de Mello for a Portuguese military readership. Its plates are precise engraved plans, elevations and sections of star-shaped bastioned forts, trench zigzags, mines and gates, with lettered keys and graduated scale bars. A designer could borrow their crisp geometric linework, radiating star outlines and lettered diagram layouts for technical or schematic graphics.
