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.
