摘要:Although during the early centuries of the Middle Ages in the West the military treatises of Antiquity did not fall completely into oblivion (as can be demonstrated by the diffusion achieved by Vegetius’s work), and despite the fact that the technology and design of war engines had undergone some important advances, the fact is that not until the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries did technical literature designed to spread new and sometimes imaginative models fl ourish. Against this backdrop of renewed interest in the design and construction of this type of machines, the report that Guido da Vigevano presented in 1335 to Philip VI of France for the recovery of the Holy Land represents a milestone because of its originality, the mixture of pragmatism and fantasy, and the infl uence of Guido’s proposals on later authors.
