Abstract

This article is about the sketchbook of the Gothic master Hans Hammer from the late Gothic period. The sketchbook originates from the late 15^th Century Germany. It has four main topics: drawings of machinery (building equipment), drawings of existing buildings, drawings of parts of buildings (pinnacles, stone profiles, vaulted ceilings, staircases, parapets), and texts (including a Hungarian-German glossary).The article reviews what is already known about Hans Hammer, then demonstrates and interprets a few drawings from the sketchbook, and outlines the direction of the future research.
