Author: Christian Rieger

Publication Date: 1756

Page 204
Page: 315
Even though the two pages don’t fit (I couldn’t find the corresponding image in the index) it gives an idea on how the book is structured and I think it’s interesting how much detail there is in the drawings on one hand and how they are described only by measurements on the other.
Visiting the old book in the Zentral Bibliothek “Alte Drucke”
The book looked much heavier than it actually was when picking it up. Looking closely, the pages were very lose and not as compact as they looked from the ouside
