Description

With engr. title vignette, and 1 engr. folding plan. XXVI pp., 3 leaves, 148 pp., 2 leaves. Small 16mo. Contemp. calf, spine with red label gilt (somewhat rubbed). Amsterdam, J. Wetstein, 1757. French translation of Vegetius (fl. c. 400 A.D.) by Claude Guillaume de Sigrais (1715-1791), member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres. There were several editions, the first in 1743 in Paris. Vegetius wrote his "Epitoma rei militaris", dedicated to the emperor Valentinian, for patriotic reasons, as a boost for the Roman military forces; it is excerpted from the writings of older historians and military writers. - Tiny holes in the plan, some light browning. - Quérard, La France littéraire, X, 90; Graesse VI/2, 272.
