The first edition of the lavishly illustrated treatise on military architecture and engineering by the Cremonese Alessandro Capra. Capra's career as a military engineer prospered during the domination of the State of Milan, or Lombardy, by the Spanish monarchy. Habsburg Spain had great interest in military strategy, especially when it came to its highly strategic Lombard dominions, always seeking to better its troops, introduce new technologies, and build fortifications. In this context, Capra published his wide-ranging La Nuova Architettura militare, which he dedicated to one of his patrons, the Spanish politician Juan Tomás Enríquez de Cabrera, 7th Duke of Medina de Rioseco (1646-1705), then Governor and General Captain of Milan. Capra's military manual is divided into three parts and supplemented with numerous woodcut illustrations depicting not only fortifications and war machines, but also mechanical and hydraulic inventions of all sorts, including, for example, mobile fountains, or a method of raising drinking water from aquifers. Many of Capra's inventions are, however, not entirely original or even 'new', as the title-page clearly states and large is his debt to the great architectural and engineering theory of the Italian Renaissance. A second edition of the work appeared in his hometown of Cremona in 1717, gathered in the two-tome publication La nuova architettura civile e militare, which also included another of Capra's works, L'archittettura famigliare, first issued in 1678.

2 parti con autonomo frontespizio e autonoma numerazione in un vol. in-4° (238x165mm), pp. (28), 356; (12), 184; legatura coeva rimontata in piena pergamena rigida con titolo manoscritto al dorso. 5 tavole xilografiche ripiegate f.t. e numerose illustrazioni xilografiche n.t., molte delle quali a p. pag. Ritratto xilografico dell'autore. Qualche gora ininfluente, uno strappo all'angolo inferiore esterno del frontespizio. Bell'esemplare. Edizione definitiva, che rifonde insieme le due opere principali del celebre architetto e ingegnere militare Capra (1610 ca.-1683), La nuova Architettura Famigliare (Bologna, 1678) e La nuova Architettura Militare (Bologna, 1683). Particolare rilievo hanno le osservazioni del Capra relative alle macchine, da quelle idrauliche a quelle per il sollevamento, dai mulini alle macchine di utilizzo domestico, per giungere sino agli strumenti scientifici come il baculo mensorio, la verga astronomica e la bussola.
