The Military Portion of the Works of Francisco di Giorgio Martini (Pallas Armata series)

20pp folded leaflet in paper wraps.  8vo.  Cover sheets are a little rubbed and faded else neat, clean and tight. This booklet contains a reprint of an article which first appeared in the 'Professional Papers of the Corps of Royal Engineers' in the 1850s. Pallas Armata (literally Armed Athena, and also the title of a 1639 treatise on rapier fencing) was  a series of reprints of important period memoirs and historical works published specifically for members of wargaming societies during the 1990s.   It was intended to make rare and valuable works widely available at reasonable cost.  The series was published by Gareth Simon, himself a wargamer, of Tonbridge in Kent.
