1635 Julius Caesar 1ed War Commentary Bello Gaul ROME Africa MAPS Scaliger Latin
If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it!”
– Julius Caesar
A rare collection of civil war histories and Julius Caesar war commentaries!
Julius Caesar’s war commentaries are some of the most prolific military writings! While not specifically known for his writing, Julius Caesar wrote this book which would become a mainstay in the Latin literature canon. It focuses on first-hand account of Julius Caesar in the Callic wars, but it was written as though from a third-person view.
This highly desirable 1635 edition was collected and edited by French historian Joseph Scaliger and includes 5 illustrations and three folding maps! This edition is extremely desirable, and, according to Willems, is “the finest of all Elzevier productions!” Willems continues of this edition –
“This reprint (from the first edition) is beautifully executed and copy line for line the original.”
