Resumen
The article explores the dedications to sponsors and patrons found in military
and mechanical engineering books between the last decades of the sixteenth
century and the first half of the seventeenth century. These dedications are
significant because they show how the authors of those books managed their
strategies of self-promotion within the power of the court and weaved new
relationships with sponsors and patrons. Through their dedications, they
attempted to guarantee both their status as authors and that of their books.
Circulating as objects throughout elite political networks, these scientific
books also enabled less tangible transactions of knowledge, prestige and power
