Tartar pumps

Among the pumps he described in 1431-1433 in De Ingeneis, Taccola attributed this chain pump design to the Tartars.^[1]^[2] Phg (talk) 09:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Today I am adding more information to the Work and Style section. Trtwe34 (talk) 17:04, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dedications and Brunelleschi

I will be adding information regarding who Taccola dedicated "De Ingenis" and "De Machinis" to. I am also providing details on what Taccola discussed with Brunelleschi in their interview. I plan on adding my information regarding the interview as a new section, and will edit portions of the existing article to help with flow. ^[1] Kelton T Back (talk) 11:33, 10 November 2023 (CT)

Editing Linear Perspective

At the bottom of the second paragraph under the "Work and Style" section, it's explained that Taccola was unaware of the revolution in linear perspective. This information came from Lawerence Fane's "The Invented World of Mariano Taccola" from 2003, but it did not provide any specific reason as to why Taccola was unaware of the development of linear perspective. In Galluzzi's "The Italian Renaissance of Machines", which came out in 2020, it is discovered that, due to the rivalry between Taccola's native Siena and Florence, the birthplace of linear perspective, Taccola was never exposed to the art style. I will go in and update the information regarding this issue. ^[1] Kelton T Back (talk) 11:32, 17 November 2023 (CT)
