The Memoirs of Philip de Commines, Lord of Argenton, Book Eight - 1495-1498, The Battle of Fornovo and After and Book Seven, 1484-1895, The Conquest of Naples (Pallas Armata series) (Two Volumes)

Complete in two volumes  (early parts of the memoirs not being issued in this series).  Two stapled booklets in printed light card wraps, with two maps.  8vos.  Covers are a little rubbed at extreme edges and slightly faded in margins.  Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. 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.
