The book is a comprehensive treatise on mechanics dealing with the five simple machines, the lever, the pulley, the wheel on an axle, the wedge and the screw. Their properties were in turn derived from the workings of the balance and the lever. The idea that every mechanism can be reduced to these five simple machines goes back to Heron of Alexandria and has been transmitted to the early modern period by Pappus, while the foundational role of balance and lever goes back to the Problemata mechanica ascribed to Aristotle. 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aApplied Mathematics$2HILCC 610 $aearly modern period 610 $aMPRL 610 $aEdition Open Access 610 $amechanics 610 $ahistory of science 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aApplied Mathematics 700 $aRenn$b Jürgen$0149431 702 $aDamerow$b Peter 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910134011203321 996 $aGuidobaldo del Monte's mechanicorum liber$92075558 997 $aUNINA
