Constuctio bignei circuli vel cylindri haec est, constat ex cuneis liguis

majus si absit fissio, ut hic abest, tormentum maius in lignum
non intrabit nisi 20 pollicibus id est, nondum 2 pedibus. quoniam
vero corrumpi aliquid et d distorqueri potest. ideo opus est ut
machina tota sit mobilis circa centrum, ita partes pars laesi
amota in partem futam tecta alis. facile reparabitur novis cuneis
paratis erc. At pars sana hosti obvertetur. Ut autem motus fiat
facile fieri ex potest imponento solum cytindris super conis mobilibus
apicem centro machinae obvertentibus, cum his circum volvetur
cum tempus erit si sit aliqua deeclivitas sed postera erit rarsus illuc

autsiis aut aliter aiqua jactu extinguere faammam si nimis
aut quatuer pedum circa

in Mactonam hanc ibitur intus tecto itinere sub terra inmedio non
per jannam. Duo ordines tarmentorum locati erunt in ma
hina, scilicet inferiores circiter, tribus supra horizontem
pedibus, e sequentes circiter 6 suprae.
Iddo ionem semper extingui posse videri si motus sit
in promen quia videtur motio facto posse numergi malem
machinum ab ea parte qua incenditur,, immergi in ter
suffocando.
murum humidum vel materiam aptam igni

facilius ignium pariter et idtum vim
