"The most influential German lower and middle school text on science, statics and mechanics, mathematics, geometry, civil and military architecture, optics, astronomy, chronology and dialling. Sturm expanded and enlarged this, his most popular work, from an essentially tabular presentation in 1670 to the present heavily illustrated desk reference, which took its final form in 1699 (Vol. I) and 1701 (Vol. II) and remained in use for decades. Hundreds of instruments and experiments are described, and each section ends with a short supplementary bibliography to the end of the 17th century. From the publisher's note at the end of Vol. II. The letterpress was produced at Altdorf and the engravings in Nürnberg.

Plates of diagrams and illustrations, including projections of military fortifications, architectural elements, machines, etc.
