Second enlarged edition of these two treatises by Girolamo Maggi. The first enlarged edition was printed by Andreas Frisius in Amsterdam in 1664. Girolimo Maggi (d. 1572) was a military engineer in the service of the Republic of Venice. It was in prison that he wrote these two most interesting treatises: one on bells and carillons, followed by a, considering the circumstances, very appropriate one on 'the horse' and other instruments of torture, illustrated in a horrible way. - Fine copy. NBG 32, 698f.
