| | The construction method of building metal bridges and the mechanics of the forces in the area of statics were also part of his research. He drew proposals which predated the actual construction of modern suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges by over two centuries. The last area was described when further developed in a separate book by mathematician Simon de Bruges (Simon Stevin) in 1586. | | The construction method of building metal bridges and the mechanics of the forces in the area of statics were also part of his research.

| − | Veranzio was the author of a five-language dictionary,<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=cqBkQFiTbX4C&pg=PA91&dq=Faust+Verantius&hl=en&ei=Deb4S6bvNo6lceiVjecL&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAjgK#v=onepage&q=Faust%20Verantius&f=false Dictionaries in Early Modern Europe:] Lexicography and the Making of Heritage by John P. Considine.</ref> ''Dictionarium quinque nobilissimarum Europæ linguarum, Latinæ, Italicæ, Germanicæ, Dalmatiæ, & Vngaricæ'',<ref>''[http://books.google.com./books?id=oFlgAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Fausto+Veranzio&as_brr=4&hl=en&cd=1#v=onepage&q&f=false Apud Nicolaum Morettum], 1595, Venice''</ref> published in Venice in 1595, with 5,000 entries for each language: [[Latin]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[German language|German]], the Dalmatian language and Hungarian. These he called the "five noblest European languages" ("''quinque nobilissimarum Europæ linguarum''").<ref>When Petrus Lodereckerus published in 1606 his, videlicet Latine, Italice, Dalmatice, Bohemicè, Polonicè, Germanicè, & Vngaricè, vna cum cuiuslibet linguæ registro siue repertorio vernaculo, Singulari studio & industria collectum a Petro Lodereckeroin'' (Prague), he included two more languages than Veranzio's ''pentadictionary'': Czech language/Czech and Polish language/Polish, with the addition of indices in Latin for each language.</ref>
| + | 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. |

| − | The ''Dictionarium'' is a very early and significant example of both Croatian and Hungarian lexicography, and contains, in addition to the parallel list of vocabulary, other documentation of these two languages. In particular, Veranzio listed in the ''Dictionarium'' 304 Hungarian words that he deemed to be loan-word/borrowed from Croatian. Also, at the end of the book, Veranzio included Croatian language versions of the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, the Ave Maria and the Apostles' Creed.
