The Campaigns of he Great Conde, 1621-1689 (Pallas Armata series)

108pp stapled booklet, with maps in text, in printed stiff card wraps.  8vo.  A little gentle edge wear to card covers, lightly sunned over spine.  The pages in the booklet are slightly misaligned, not having been squared properly at the point of binding. Booklet contains a reprint of a portion of Edward Cust's Lives of the Warriors of the 17th Century (London, 1865-9) recounting the career of the Grande Conte. 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.
