A reprinted letter written by da Vinci when he was 30 to the Duke of Milan, in which the letter writer puts out his expertise in weapons.
Again, I have kinds of mortars; most convenient and easy to carry; and with these I can fling small stones almost resembling a storm; and with the smoke of these cause great terror to the enemy, to his great detriment and confusion.
