Title

Opere del famosissimo Nicolo Tartaglia : cioè Quesiti, Trauagliata inuentione, Noua scientia, Ragionamenti sopra Archimede . Nelle quali copiosamente si spiega. L'arte di guerreggiare, cosi in mare, come in terra, co'l modo appresso di diffendere, offendere, & espugnare ogni gran fortezza. E l'arte ancora del perfetto bombardiero, co[n] tutte le cose à quella necessarie. Si dimostra di piu' vn modo nuouo e mirabile di fabricare, & vsare, diuerse sorti di squadre, & di bussole. E varie maniere artificiose di cauare ogni gran vasello affondato, & fabricare due vasi co i quali si possa descendere nel fondo del mare & e à suo piacere ritornare di sopra. Et il trattato de Insidentibus aquæ, cioè delle materie che stanno, & che non stanno sopra l'acqua, nel quale oltre la prattica vi si scorgono in questo proposito molti discorsi speculatiui. Dedicati all'Illustrissimo signor Luigi Giustiniano signor all'Arsenale..
