Obras de fray Andrés de San Miguel

Despite the time elapsed since this was first published in 1969, this book has lost none of its relevance as an essential work of reference; several of its chapters, such as those on Carmelite architecture, hydraulics and solar clocks, are still sources of the first order for researchers into science and technology. This new edition also includes£apart from some additions and corrections£a complete facsimile reproduction of the section on joinery, which is, together with the text by the Sevillian Diego López de Arenas, the only text that is available in the Spanish language on this marvelous art of frameworks and interlacing ornamental work.
