The author of this project was Christian Dahlke, a military engineer and colonel of the Crown Artillery. While researchers have been familiar with the plan, it has yet to receive a thorough analysis regarding the author’s proposed solutions, particularly in comparison to fortification concepts prevalent during that era. Given the military context of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the mid-18th c., a closer examination of this plan is warranted, as it provides insight into potential advancements in military engineering of the time.}, doi = {10.4467/0023589XKHNT.24.017.19822}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/kwartalnik-historii-nauki-i-techniki/article/niedokonczona-twierdza-plan-christiana-dahlkego-z-1746-r-dotyczacy-ufortyfikowania-klasztoru-oo-dominikanow-na-gorze-rozancowej-w-podkamieniu} }
