De re Militari libri quatuor. Sexti Julii Frontini Viri Consularis de Strategematis libri totidem. Aeliani de instruendis aciebus liber unus.
Modesti de vocabulis rei militaris liber unus. Item picturae bellicae CXX passim Vegetio adiectae. Collata sunt omnia ad antiquos codices, maximè Budaei, quod testabitur Aelianus
Paris, Sub scuto Basiliensi ex officina Christiani Wecheli, 1535.
In-4 (335 x 235 mm), 279 pp. Printer's mark on first and last leaves, 1 full-page engraved portrait of lansquenet, repeated on leaves [a4v] and Q1v (engraved three times), 1 in-text diagram and 119 full-page plates. Full vellum with small flaps, smooth spine titled and dated in brown ink, bookmark preserved (modern binding).
Second edition given by Wechel of this work richly illustrated with 122 plates engraved hors-texte. This treatise of military art by Vegetius has remained famous for its rich illustration, where one can observe various mobile cannons, telescopic ladders, diving suits, waterproof boots allowing to cross bodies of water or various slings and explosive projectiles.
The portrait of the lansquenet, as well as the costumes of the characters who populate the woods suggest that the latter are from a German workshop: they are moreover taken from an Augsburg edition, dating from 1529. Mortimer, Early French Books, cat. 563.
