description: FONTES 69 presents an unknown treatise on military architecture by the military architect and engineer Antonio Alberti of Urbino (active 1570-1585) "Della Architettura Militare chiamata volgarmente fortificazione", on military encampments. An extensive synoptic description of Alberti’s missing treatise in tabular form is here identified for the first time in Fra Egnazio Danti’s (1536-1586) "Le scienze matematiche ridotte in tavole" (Bologna 1577). This synoptic redaction is reproduced in a full text version. Antonio Alberti’s "new" treatise is considered in the context of similar works by earlier and near contemporary writers on military architecture: Sebastiano Serlio, Guillaume Du Choul, Gian Giorgio Trissino, Andrea Palladio, Pietro Cataneo, and Giovanni Franco, revealing the essentially practical and empirical nature of Alberti’s text.
