A BEAUTIFUL, PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED EDITION, a reprint of the first Christian Wechel edition which appeared in 1532 (overall this is the third Wechel edition). The volume gathers texts of the most important military writers of the late Roman Empire who were widely read during the Renaissance. The illustrations, which depict war machines, catapults, mines, cannons, and the two famous proto-divers, are taken from those used in the edition printed in Augsburg in 1529 by Heinrich Steiner, these having in turn been freely copied from the Erfurt edition issued by Hans Knappe in 1511. Adams, V-334; BMSTC French, p. 436; Mortimer, 486 (1st edition).
