Abstract
Anonymous physics manuscript. Text is written in bold cursive style present on gutter half of each page. Numerous diagrams and illustrations have been drawn opposite text pertinent to discussion of physical phenomenon. This is a meticulously written and illustrated Italian manuscript covering many aspects of pressure, force and mechanics. The margins contain various geometric and surveying diagrams along with scales, hoists and other machines and hydraulics. These subjects are covered in 133 numbered sections dealing with forces on objects, refraction, etc.
