12mo. pp. xvi, 482, [4]errata & privilege. woodcut ornaments & title vignette. A nice copy in contemporary calf, gilt back, gilt edges, an unidentified viscount's arms stamped in gilt with leather onlays on centre covers (some wear to head of spine). First Edition of this French Translation by Jean François Marie Bongars, Baron de Bongars [1758-c1820] of a classic of ancient Roman military science, treating of the organization of armies, the training of soldiers, and military tactics and weaponry. The book on siegecraft is of particular importance, containing the best description of late empire siege techniques and apparatus, including details of the siege engine known as the 'onager'. Also included are interesting notes and reflections of the translator, who served in several campaigns of the Revolution and was appointed general of division in 1812. In view of the publication date of the book the birth date cited for Bongars in the Nouvelle Biographie Générale (1758) must be erroneous. Brunet V 1112.…

Small folio (285 x 190 mm). Illuminated manuscript on paper, written by the scribe Ippolito da Luna. 113 ff. Original, contemporary dark brown calf over wooden boards with blind tooling, roll-stamp decoration and ornamental gilt stamps from the workshop of Masone di Maio (Naples), three raised bands, gilt title on upper cover. Stored in custom cloth box with gilt morocco spine label. Unrecorded illuminated manuscript, signed by the scribe and commissioned by the King of Naples for the Ferrillo Family of Naples, still preserved in its original, strictly contemporary binding from the Masone di Maio workshop. - The "Mulomedicina" is a concise summary of Roman veterinary science, addressing the care of horses, mules and donkeys - animals vital to the economy and military. Roman veterinarians (mulomedici) were critical to maintaining these animals' health, akin to the modern importance of mechanics for vehicles. Vegetius lists the breeds of horses that are best for each of the three prestigious activities for which horses were used: war, racing, and individual transport. Hunnic horses make the best war mounts, Cappodocian horses excel in the circus, while the most graceful and comfortable riding horses come from Persia and the Arabian Peninsula. Most of Vegetius's recommendations and remedies apply to racehorses, the type of equine in which he shows most interest. - The work remained influential for centuries, with early translations proliferating in the 14th and 15th centuries. Latin manuscripts, however, are rarer; only 19 were identified by Vicenzo Ortoleva in 1996, compared to over 200 copies of Vegetius's "De rei militaris". - Notably, our manuscript shares similarities with a luxurious copy commissioned by King Ferdinand I of Aragon, also written by Ippolito da Luna (sold at Sotheby's in 1994; Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts SDBM_191032 and SDBM_MS_22189). According to Ortoleva, the colophon in Ferdinand's copy is in fact identical to the one in our manuscript (cf. Ortoleva 1996, p. 11): "Hos Vegetii libellos Hippolytus lunensis mendosissimo exemplari. Qua. Potuit. Diligentia transcripsit". - The illumination is in very good condition, colours bright and luminous, delicately executed. Paper brittle and delicate in the first half of the manuscript (up to about fol. 66) with occasional damage to the paper caused by ink corrosion, at times heavy; the paper in the first half of the book also appears to be a bit thinner (although all the paper of the book comes from the same mill, all leaves bearing the same watermark), because the ink on recto and verso infiltrated the paper and shines through. Some waterstaining at lower margins, otherwise very clean and smooth paper apart from occasional browning. Rubrics and chapter headlines have almost entirely faded in the first half of the book but are very clear in the second. The beautiful binding has remains of clasps; edges and corners bumped and rubbed; slight defects to upper spine and lower cover. - 1. Commissioned by King Ferdinand of Aragon from his courtly scribe Hippolytus Lunensis (also known as Ippolito da Luna) and his workshop, for the Ferrillo family of Naples, probably for Matteo Ferrillo, Count of Muro Locano, knight and seigneur of the king. 2. Owned by Mingoval, squire of King Ferdinand of Aragon, at the beginning of the 16th century (his inscription on the front of the first blank leaf: "Lo echuyer maior se chiama mingoval"). 3. Late 16th-century annotations and maniculae in the margins throughout, likely by a practising veterinarian. 4. Els Llibres del Tirant, cat. 17 (2007), no. 2. - E. Lommatzsch (ed.), P.

Legatura seicentesca in pergamena rigida con unghie. Titolo ms. al ds. Tagli bleu. Nota anticamente ms. sulla carta di guardia libera anteriore. Una firma di appartenenza parzialmente cancellata ed un timbretto araldico nella parte inferiore del frontespizio. Sporadiche macchie e lievi aloni. Un restauro all angolo inferiore delle pp. 181-182 che interessa in minima parte le xilografie. Alcuni leggeri segni d inchiostro sull ultima carta della seconda opera. Nel complesso, esemplare in più che buono stato di conservazione. L opera di Vegezio è qui nella prima rara edizione del tipografo Wechel che poi la ristampò nel 1534 e nel 1553. Oltre che per il commento dell umanista francese Guillaume Budé, questa edizione è particolarmente apprezzata per le grandi xilografie che trasportano il testo di Vegezio in un contesto prettamente rinascimentale nel quale predominano gli aspetti legati all ingegno e alla fantasia umana. In questo ambito risultano davvero affascinanti le invenzioni e gli svariati stratagemmi raffigurati per scalare le mura delle fortificazioni o per costruire le più diverse macchine belliche. Opera assi rara alla quale, nel nostro esemplare, ai testi di Vegezio, Frontino, Eliano e Modesto, è stata unita la storia dei Romani di Floro edita dal Wechel nello stesso anno.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Sexti Iulii frontini viri consularis de Strategematis libri totidem. Aeliani de instruendis Aciebus liber unus. Modesti de vocabulis rei militaris liber unus. Item pictuae belliae cxx. passim Vegetio adiecae. Collata sunt omnia ad antiquos codices (.) pp. [1] f.e., [8], 279, [1], [1] r.e. Bound in contemporary rigid vellum in very good condition; two red leather labels on the spine with gilt title. The upper margin of the entire volume suffered damp (possibly mold) damage, which has been carefully and expertly restored, with repairs where necessary. The flaw affects the running title, which nonetheless is always complete; the last part of the volume is more affected than the rest. Tear restored art page 181. Some pages are misnumbered, but the quires are correct. With 124 fresh woodcuts in the pagination, of which 121 are full-page, and two woodcut Pegasus printer's devices on the title and final leaf. Although the restored damage in the upper margins is clearly a defect, the volume retains considerable charm, thanks to the otherwise fine condition of the plates. Over a hundred Roman war machines (including incredible diving bells) charming readers for centuries. Early edition of one of the most famous military guides ever written. Drawing on earlier Republican and early Imperial sources, Vegetius distilled Roman military practice into a clear, systematic treatise emphasizing discipline, training, logistics, and strategic prudence. Rediscovered in the Middle Ages, his work became a foundational text for commanders from Charlemagne to Machiavelli, shaping European military thought for over a millennium, well beyond the introduction of gunpowder. First printed as an incunable in Utrecht in 1473, and subsequently in numerous editions that testify to its enduring success, it appears here printed in France by Christian Wechel, the prominent Parisian publisher. In this issue, Vegetius's renowned military treatise is published together with the works of the Roman strategists Frontinus and Aelianus. The text and 124 brilliant woodcuts together form one of the most complete accounts of classical military practice as employed during the height of the Roman Empire, a system foundational to its power. This richly illustrated edition includes detailed representations of ancient siege engines and war machines, and notably features seven early depictions of diving bells, weighted suits, and related underwater apparatus. A landmark in the history of the art of war, military engineering, and classical scholarship. Brunet V, 1162. …

8°; Halbleinenband um 1900. Zustand: Sehr gut. XVI, 320 S.; In Fraktur gedruckt. Titelblatt etwas braunfleckig, alter Stempel verso Titel. Insgesamt sehr guter Zustand. // Vom bayerischen Historiker und Juristen Felix Joseph von Lipowsky (1764 - 1842) besorgte Übersetzung dieses im 4. Jahrhundert verfassten bedeutenden Werks der antiken Kriegsführung. / Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus war ein Kriegstheoretiker des ausgehenden 4. Jahrhunderts und Verfasser eines Hauptwerkes der antiken Kriegskunde (Epitoma rei militaris, auch De re militari). Die Abhandlung entstand am Kaiserhof in Mediolanum (Mailand) und ist nur so allgemein gewidmet, dass als Adressaten die Kaiser Theodosius der Große (regierte 379395), möglicherweise aber auch dessen Sohn Honorius, sowie Theodosius II. und Valentinian III. in Frage kommen. Die Datierung ist daher nicht ganz sicher. Quellen sind nach Vegetius' eigenen Angaben Cato, Aulus Cornelius Celsus, Frontinus, Paternus und die kaiserlichen Armeereglemente von Augustus, Trajan und Hadrian. /altphilologie Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1100.…
