Synopsis

This vintage book contains a treatise on a variety of ancient projective weapons, with a special focus on ancient and mediaeval Catapults and Balistas. With fascinating historical information and complete descriptions of the various weapons discussed, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in historical ballistic weaponry and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The history of the Crossbow, with notes Comparative on the Longbow and Handgun", "The Construction and Management of Crossbows: Mediaeval", "The Construction and Management of Crossbows--(continued): Modern", "A Treatise on the Siege Engines used in Ancient and Mediaeval Times for Discharging Great Stones and Arrows", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
