Publisher's Synopsis
Hic liber, scriptus ab Alexandrino Herone Mechanico, duo tractatus continet. Primus est Liber De Machinis Bellicis, in quo Heron describit multas machinas et instrumenta bellica, quae in bello adhiberi possunt. Hae machinae et instrumenta varia sunt, ut scorpion, balista, catapultae, et alia. Heron etiam docet, quomodo hae machinae construantur et adhibeantur. Secundus tractatus est Liber De Geodaesia, in quo Heron tractat de mensura terrae et aquarum. Heron explicat, quomodo mensurae fiant, quomodo terra et aquae mensurentur, et quomodo hae mensurationes adhibeantur in architectura. Hic liber, editus anno MDLXXII, est utilissimus et valde instructivus, et omnibus qui de machinis bellicis et geodaesia velint discere, maxime commendatur.This Book Is In Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
