Petraria Arcatinus

Petraria Arcatinus is a possibly fictitious catapult which is claimed to have been in use during the Middle Ages. The name appears in some non-scholarly modern texts and websites.〔Toms, Ron, ("The Big Book of Catapult and Trebuchet Plans!" ). Rit Industries, 2010〕〔Dugdale-Pointon, TDP. (19 April 2004), (Petraria Arcatinus )〕 It is often roughly translated as "bow-powered stone-thrower". Modern depictions of this catapult are usually of an onager with its torsion spring power source replaced by a bow, but some doubt if this weapon ever existed.
==History==
The term "petraria" appears throughout the Medieval historical record, and is used refer to some types of catapults. It is unclear if "petraria arcatinus" appears anywhere in Medieval texts, or if its usage is more modern.
According to some on-line sources, one of these catapults may have been used during the twelfth century at the Siege of Acre in the Third Crusade,〔〔(), Companions of the Longbow, Petraria Arcatinus〕 where King Philip of France had named one of his catapults "Malvoisin" (French for "Bad Neighbor").〔Hindley, Geoffrey, (''Medieval Sieges & Siegecraft'' ). Skyhorse Publishing, 2009, p. 42〕 However other sources say this machine was a trebuchet.〔Chevedden, Paul (1998), The Hybrid Trebuchet, (''On the Social Origins of Medieval Institutions : Essays in Honor of Joseph F. O'Callaghan'' ), p.190〕 (Some confusion may spring from the fact that the name 'Malvoisin' was used more than once, having later been the name of a trebuchet in the First Barons' War〔Hindley, Geoffrey, (''Medieval Sieges & Siegecraft'' ). Skyhorse Publishing, 2009, p. 45〕 at the Siege of Dover,〔Goodall, John (2000). Dover Castle and the Great Siege of 1216 ''Chateau Gaillard'', v.19〕 and similarly at the Siege of Minerve in 1210,〔 and possibly for other machines of war.)
