Manufacturer

A study on the history of medieval innovation. A volume from the series "Publications of the 1st Centre for Experimental Medievalism, Vechta". For a long time, the throwing gun played a subordinate role in the study of medieval warfare. In this work, the author not only describes the technical functioning and development of the cannon, but also its social-historical significance. The explanations are also vividly illustrated with the help of numerous, mostly colour illustrations. In addition to the purely technical questions, the author also devotes himself to source criticism, the history of transmission and the important history of invention and innovation.

Hardly any other piece of warfare equipment played such a decisive role in the medieval "battle for fortified places" as the throwing gun. The use of these "throwing machines" had inestimable advantages in sieges and conquests. Within a short period of time, they could be used to effectively destroy fortifications and to quickly and safely demoralise the defenders (or, in the opposite case, the besiegers) with epidemics and diseases as well as with continuous fire.
