Como, 1521 Rare and valuable. The heading on the first page of text shows that Cesare Cesariano, a Milanese professor of Architecture, was the man who supplied the commentary and the illustrations.

Besides the proper illustrations of Architectural character, there are likewise figures of waterwheels, military engines, and other inventions; including a warship moved not only by sails, but also by paddles.
