Information

Paris, Chex Estienne Michallet, 1677. In 12vo. With 72 engraved plates (71 numbered, 1 unnumbered), friezes, woodcut endpapers, with a tear on the spine without loss, some light foxing, brown calf binding with gold title and friezes on the spine with 4 raised bands, red spray edges, minor defects.

Specialist Notes

Rare. The author, the Jesuit and mathematician Claude François Milliet Dechales, compares European fortification and defense methodologies—French, Dutch, German, Italian, and Spanish—at a time when new European theories were profoundly challenging the models of antiquity that had until then been considered fundamental.
