'This heavily illustrated volume forms a typology of Francesco's drawings of engines, forts, architecture, and antiquities, and it classifies one hundred ten copied drawings and manuscripts of each by as many other artists, indicating how Francesco selected from his own first designs for his later treatises. Scaglia shows that the great quantity of copies by other artists proves that architects, engineers, and patrons were fascinated by these engine designs for possible construction or as graphic demonstration of artistic inventiveness, especially the mills, pumps, and military devices that might never be built as drafted on paper.'.…

Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: On Engines, dated 1433, is an early and previously unknown treatise on engineering which was prepared for King Sigismund's arrival in Siena as he traveled to Rome for rites of coronation. Mariano Taccola has been described as a designer of military devices, but the drawings and texts of De ingeneis show his interest in the field of technology to encompass far more than the machines of attack and defense. He deals actively, at times creatively, with bridges and their foundations, with harbors, harbor equipment for the loading of freight, aqueducts both above and below ground, equipment for operating the wells at the end of an aqueduct, mill houses, and the machines and power plants associated with them. The numerous figures and landscapes that accompany his texts also reveal Taccola to be an interesting and original Sienese artist. He portrays human figures in situations that seldom appear in the major arts, and the nature studies among the vignettes beside his texts are distinctive to his art. As in a previous study of Brunelleschi's technology and inventions (MIT Press 1970), the authors represent different viewpoints in their analysis; Frank Prager, the history of technology, and Gustina Scaglia, the history of art. Together they have transcribed and translated the Latin texts and indicated the original form of De ingeneis from manuscripts in two libraries. They have summarized as much as is known about Taccola, whose work earned him the name of "the Sienese Archimedes," and have evaluated his achievements as writer, graphic artist, and engineer.(Publisher).…
