| The tables represent a varied set of projects, inventions and creations of the author. There Veranzio wrote about water and solar energy, the universal clock (Plates 6–7), several types of mills, agricultural machinery, various types of bridge in various materials, machinery for clearing the sea, a dual sedan traveling on mule (Plate 47), special coaches, and ''Homo Volans'' (Plate 38) a forerunner of the parachute. His work included a ''portable boat'' (Plate 39), that is say a boat that, thanks to the same energy as the current may go against the river (Plate 40). It was his idea to use the printing rotary principle (e.g. grinding them printers, Plate 46) in order to alleviate the great difficulty of printers and improve results. | | The tables represent a varied set of projects, inventions and creations of the author.

| Only a few of Veranzio's works related to history remain: ''Regulae cancellariae regni Hungariae'' and ''De Slavinis seu Sarmatis in Dalmatia'' exist in manuscript form, while ''Scriptores rerum hungaricum'' was published in 1798. In ''Logica nova'' ("New logic") and ''Ethica christiana'' ("Christian ethics"), which were published in a single Venetian edition in 1616, Veranzio dealt with the problems of theology regarding the ideological clash between the Protestant Reformation/Reformation movement and [[Catholicism]]. Tommaso Campanella (1568–1639) and the Archbishop of Split Marco Antonio de Dominis (1560–1624) were his intellectual counterparts. | | Only a few of Veranzio's works related to history remain: ''Regulae cancellariae regni Hungariae'' and ''De Slavinis seu Sarmatis in Dalmatia'' exist in manuscript form, while ''Scriptores rerum hungaricum'' was published in 1798.

| |
− | Veranzio published some of his last works under the name "''Giusto Verace''"<ref>The pseudonym ''"Giusto Verace"'' is a sort of ''pun'' in Italian: means "just (righteous) and genuine (truthful)".</ref>. Some of them were never printed, left in the form of manuscripts. Some were sold to stay in big archives in the capitals of [[Austria]] or Hungary, while some were lost forever.
