VEGETIUS [RENATUS, Publius Flavius].

Paris: Ant. Jombert père, 1772..
12mo. pp. xvi, 482, [4]errata & privilege. woodcut ornaments & title vignette. A nice copy in contemporary calf, gilt back, gilt edges, an unidentified viscount's arms stamped in gilt with leather onlays on centre covers (some wear to head of spine). First Edition of this French Translation by Jean François Marie Bongars, Baron de Bongars [1758-c1820] of a classic of ancient Roman military science, treating of the organization of armies, the training of soldiers, and military tactics and weaponry. The book on siegecraft is of particular importance, containing the best description of late empire siege techniques and apparatus, including details of the siege engine known as the 'onager'. Also included are interesting notes and reflections of the translator, who served in several campaigns of the Revolution and was appointed general of division in 1812. In view of the publication date of the book the birth date cited for Bongars in the Nouvelle Biographie Générale (1758) must be erroneous. Brunet V 1112.
