Le machine : volume nuovo et di molto artificio da fare effeta maravigliosi tanto spiritali quanto di Animale operatione arichito di bellissime figure con le dichiarationi a ciascuna di esse in lingua volgare et latina
Branca's treatise on machinery contains the first published representation of an action-powered steam turbine, a device first described by Leonardo in the Codex Hammer (formerly the Codex Leicester); It is unlikely that Branca's steam turbine was ever built, for the machine, as illustrated, would not have operated due to excessive friction and small original volume of energy. Nevertheless, Branca's illustration is of historical significance as it embodies fundamental principles of engineering (Norman 333)
