Summary[edit]

Description
English: "To the Most Serene Lord Joseph Fernando, Electoral Prince of Bavaria. Sonnet. Bavarian eagle, German Sun, Such a humble offering my pen presents to you, That by its poverty and my own, it does not deserve To be a worthy token of your noble hand. But your heroic heart, so humane, Refuses to reject it, out of pity it takes it, Because even if it does not deserve it for my sake, It deserves your sovereign protection. It is the fiery architecture of Pallas, And though spread out in a brief volume, Where, O Prince, Mars assures you, The most remote and expansive region, And to elevate Bavaria to such heights, That the entire world may still seem insignificant. By Don Sebastian Fernandez de Medrano." - El Ingeniero práctico, Sebastian Fernandez de Medrano, 1696 (Published in Brussels for the Royal Military and Mathematics Academy of Brussels, Habsburg Netherlands). The illustration reads: "Mars offers, and Pallas presents to you the teachings of Medrano. These are the deeds of your fatherland; may they be your martial offspring."
