TO THE READERS.

Whoever longs to see new inventions,
Not taken from Plato, nor from Plotinus,
Nor from any other Greek or Latin author,
But only from Art, measurement, and Reason.
Read the interrogations in this book,
Made by Pietro, Pol, Zuann, and Martino
(Just as they occurred, evening and morning)
And similarly, the responses.
Here inside you will understand, if I am not deceived,
Of many highly speculative effects,
The immediate cause of their damage,
Also of many operative acts;
You will see executed with little trouble
Profitable things in the art of war.
And very defensive ones as well.
With other things of great value,
And inventions in the greater art.
