Summary:

"A finales del siglo XVI, Leonardo Turriano, ingeniero de Felipe II, se trasladó a la actual Argelia para supervisar las fortalezas costeras de Orán y Mazalquivir, los dos enclaves españoles más orientales del norte de África. Fruto de esta estancia fue un manuscrito inédito, la Descripci[ó]n de las Plaças de Oran y Mazarquivir en materia de fortificar (1598). Tanto sus dibujos como la transcripción del texto se publican ahora por primera vez. Este manuscrito constituye un revelador testimonio de lo que era o podía llegar a ser un ingeniero en el Renacimiento. Los estudios sobre Leonardo Turriano, su trayectoria y la ciencia de los ingenieros, a cargo de renombrados especialistas internacionales, que han realizado expresas investigaciones para elaborar los trabajos que aquí se publican, serán una contribución ineludible al estudio de los individuos y las obras que fueron dando forma a la historia de la ciencia y la técnica en la Europa Moderna."--Page 4 of cover.
