Specialist Notes

Second edition, to be preferred to the first of 1613 because it was enlarged with new and interesting chapters and new engravings, of this important work divided into four discourses which deal with the tasks of individual soldiers, cavalry and how to make it fight and the care of horses. The plates are very beautiful, in particular the five that depict soldiers on horseback, which make this work extremely valuable and sought after. See D'Ayala, p. 21. Sticca, Italian military writers, p. 139. The Piantanida is missing.
