Hi Marcus,
This the so-called Buch von den probierten Künsten (on well-tried arts), printed in 1535. I attached some samples which are of interest in our thread although Helm's original intention was to demonstrate fireworks as a means of merrymaking. The bottom attachments depicts a notable device quite similar to some presented by Franz Helm; Veste Coburg collections; and two glass hand grenades for the so-called Greek Fire, 10th-12th c., and a few caltrops; National Historic Museum Athens. Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 18th March 2014 at 11:35 PM. |
