Contenant un traité pratique des mines. et une autre de la guerre en general.The Hague Pieter de Hondt 1742. With 11 folding engraved plates. 2 works in 1 volume. Large 4to 26.5 x 20.5 cm. Contemporary mottled calf richly gold-tooled spine.
1 1 blank 18 216; 1 1 blank 14 "180" =188 34 pp.First edition of Vauban's treatises on siegecraft and military mining. Of all the 17th- and 18th-century books "on military technology no works had greater influence or enjoyed greater prestige than those of Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban the great military engineer of the reign of Louis XIV" Guerlac. Although a highly practical man and not a theoretician Vauban had written down the secrets of his success in the building and capturing of fortresses between 1669 and 1704. Vauban's strategic superiority could only remain if this information was kept secret so his texts circulated only within a very select circle. After Vauban's death they were leaked. In the dedication and introduction the Dutch publisher describes how he managed to obtain a copy which was so expensive partly due to the many illustrations that only princes ambassadors "et autres seigneurs" could afford it. "By the time the treatises became available Vauban's early readers must have been ready to believe that the text finally being made public did in fact contain incredible military secrets and have the power to make nations invincible. No other treatise of siegecraft had been surrounded by such secrecy" DeJean. The first volume published in 1737 did not contain all the master's secrets. It contained Vauban's treatise on the attack of fortified places but the added part on defence was actually written by a colleague seigneur Deshoulières 1621-1693. A second volume published in 1742 contained Vauban's treatise on military mining first published in 1740 and a general treatise on war written by another "eminent officer".With library stamps. Binding worn and front hinge cracked. Water stained throughout with some spots and a few small tears; otherwise still a good copy.l Dejean Literary fortifications pp. 34-36; Jähns pp. 1419-1420 1426-1429; Sloos Warfare 03045; STCN vol. 1: 4 copies; vol. 2: 5 copies; cf.

VAUBAN Sebastien le Prestre de.
De l'attaque et de la defense des places.The Hague Pieter de Hondt 1737. Large 4to 26.5 x 20.5 cm. With 35 folding engraved plates lacking plate XV. Contemporary calf richly gold-tooled spine.
1 1 blank 18 216 pp.First edition of Vauban's treatise on siegecraft. Of all the 17th- and 18th-century books "on military technology no works had greater influence or enjoyed greater prestige than those of Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban the great military engineer of the reign of Louis XIV" Guerlac. Although a highly practical man and not a theoretician Vauban had written down the secrets of his success in the building and capturing of fortresses between 1669 and 1704. Vauban's strategic superiority could only remain if this information was kept secret so his texts circulated only within a very select circle. After Vauban's death they were leaked. In the dedication and introduction the Dutch publisher describes how he managed to obtain a copy which was so expensive partly due to the many illustrations that only princes ambassadors "et autres seigneurs" could afford it. "By the time the treatises became available Vauban's early readers must have been ready to believe that the text finally being made public did in fact contain incredible military secrets and have the power to make nations invincible. No other treatise of siegecraft had been surrounded by such secrecy" DeJean.With bookplate. Binding worn at the edges; browned throughout with a few spots and lacking plate XV; a good copy.l Dejean Literary fortifications pp. 34-36; Jahns pp. 1419-1420 1426-1429; Sloos Warfare 03045; STCN 4 copies; cf. Guerlac "Vauban" in: Paret ed. Makers of modern strategy pp. 64-90. unknown
