Not only did he provide a systematic discussion of the siege attack the basis for tactical doctrine but his legacy completely altered the face of early modern siegecraft reversing the dominance of the century-old trace italienne design and overturning as well the pattern of long bloody uncertain sieges of the 16th and 17th centuries. His swift conquests of Spanish and Dutch towns in the War of Devolution the Dutch War the War of Reunions and the Nine Years War won him fame throughout Europe; a contemporary adage boasted that a town besieged by Vauban was one taken while a town defended by him was one saved The Vauban legacy thus eliminated the eternal sieges of a previous age. Vauban who was made Marshal of France in 1703 directed 47 sieges during the many campaigns that shaped the countrys emerging frontiers under Louis XIV. In times of both war and peace he worked tirelessly at designing and building new fortresses and strengthening existing ones. Vauban almost single-handedly reversed the tendency of arduous expensive sieges and although he died in 1707 his legacy lasted far beyond his death. His stone and brick fortresses shaped campaigns long after he had been buried and outline Frances hexagon today; some of them still stand having survived even WWII bombardments e.g. Cherbourg and Brest Much has been made of Vaubans strategic vision particularly his creation of a rationalized fortified frontiere de fer shielding France the famous pre carre translated alternately as a dueling round or a squared circle . The territorial boundaries Louis XIV conquered and defended with the aid of Vaubans abilities last to this day Ostwald Vauban Under Siege 9-13. Vauban is also seen as the first since the classic age of Rome to systematically build proper permanent barracks to accommodate soldiersa vital step in promoting their health well-being and discipline. The sieges conducted by Napoleons armies in the Iberian Peninsular in the second decade of the 19th century were clearly recognizable as Vauban-style assaults. So great was Napoleons esteem for Vauban that in May 1808 he honored Vauban by arranging to have his heart placed within the grand monument erected under the dome of the Invalides in Paris.

Contenant un traité pratique des mines. et une autre de la guerre en general.The Hague Pieter de Hondt 1742. 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. "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 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 and a general treatise on war.With library stamps. Binding slightly worn.
