A military treatise by Joseph Boillot, published at Chaumont in Bassigny in 1598, for soldiers and officers who practised arms, covering fireworks, siege engines and artillery. Its woodcut plates show machines and devices drawn in a plain, technical manner, with a designer's interest in the mechanical forms of early modern war machines, pulleys, frames and fire effects.
