Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a 16th-century work of early modern philosophy, is a collection of imagined machines and contraptions by the author. Each machine is richly illustrated through woodcut images, accompanied by text explaining how it would operate. These machines run the gamut from water pumps and fountains to musical instruments and games, and even the fanciful, including a 'flying bird' and a 'perpetual motion machine'. The text is rich in detail and technical insight, and can be seen as a precursor to modern science as well as a reflection of the author's fascinating imagination. This book is a testament to the author's brilliance and ingenuity, and will inspire readers from all ages and backgrounds with its thought experiments and creative renderings.
