In 1558, a year after his second widowing, and aware of Ottomans' increasing hold on lands to the east, the forty‐seven‐year‐old Nuremberg patrician scion Berthold Holzschuher devised a very unusual will and testament: a set of heavily illustrated designs, perhaps unique in the sixteenth century for their procedural detail and sense of scale, for war machines and a mill. Through examination of the first war machine design, this essay investigates how an elite European transmitted not only technical know‐how but also cultural values to the future. By synthesizing courtly, printed, and practical sources of material, Holzschuher and his collaborator, Albrecht Glockendon the Younger, crafted an object that would have been intelligible to all necessary future audiences. They also perpetuated the enduring crisis of the defence of Christendom.

保持蛇怪滚动:1558年霍尔茨舒厄尔遗嘱中的战争机器

1558年,也就是他第二次丧葬的一年后,意识到奥斯曼帝国对东方土地的控制越来越大,这位47岁的纽伦堡贵族接穗人Berthold Holzschuher设计了一个非常不寻常的意愿和遗嘱:一套精心设计的插图集,也许在16世纪是独一无二的,因为它们的程序细节和规模感,适用于战争机器和磨坊。通过检查第一个战争机器的设计,本文研究了欧洲精英如何将技术知识和文化价值传递给未来。Holzschuher和他的合作者Albrecht Glockendon(年轻人)通过综合有礼,印刷和实际的材料来源,制作出了一个本来可以让所有将来的听众理解的物体。他们还长期捍卫了基督教世界的持久危机。
