Specialist Notes
"Devoir d'un Soldat. Il doit seavoir qu'il est defendu de deguiser son nom et sa patrie theirs qu'on le present au Commissaire pour etre enrolledé sous peine de trois traits de cords...." This is the incipit of the manuscript, which extends for two hundred dense and detailed pages, aimed at defining the perimeter of the actions and activities of the various military orders. The Figures des Evolutions d'un Bataillon are fascinating, where the different dispositions of the Battalions are graphically represented in 36 tables according to needs.
