1763 Julius Caesar WAR Commentaries Military Tactics Hirtius Bellum Anville MAPS

“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 rare 1763 French edition was edited and translated by Perrot d’Ablancourt and Mascrier and includes Aulus Hirtius’ Bellum Alexandrinum and his continuation of Caesar’s De Bello Gallico. The draw, however, of this two-volume edition is the impressive, folding maps by Bourguignon d’Anville.
