Summary

Two-part work on artillery and fireworks. The author describes the first part in the title as based on a renowned work, which may be that of Joseph Furttenbach, which was published as Halinitro-pyrobolia in 1627 and in an enlarged second edition as Büchsenmeisterey-Schul in 1643. The second part is based on the author's own research and experiments.
